DC, has recorded a special message for the class of 2020.
Dr Hill said: “We are living through a difficult time in our history that will require all of us to step up and put our skills to the test. Education is not just about acquiring information but doing something with it.
“You are graduating from one of the oldest and greatest universities.
“At many junctures in St Andrews’ storied 600 years there have been times like this, when the world needs those with a St Andrews education to set things to rights.”
Messages from fellow students, friends and family will be shared on social media using #Saints2020 during the week of virtual ceremonies.
The class of 2020 will return to St Andrews to take part in graduation ceremonies and celebrate with friends and family in person in June next year.
Virtual ceremonies can be watched online via st-andrews.ac.uk/graduation/ watch-live/
