University of St Andrews
Kate Middleton and Prince William both studied at the University of St Andrews in Scotland. They met as art history students in 2001 and later graduated with upper second-class degrees. The university is one of the oldest in the English-speaking world and a popular choice for British royals.
University of Manchester
Before St Andrews, Prince William briefly attended the University of Manchester. He enrolled in 2001 to study art history but transferred to St Andrews after a few weeks. His time at Manchester was short and focused on adjusting to university life away from royal duties.
Education and Public Role
Both Middleton and William used their university years to build independence and public-facing experience. Their time at St Andrews helped them develop confidence in media-heavy environments. Their education is often cited as a foundation for their later charity and royal work.
