After receiving his BA in Biblical Studies and Theology in California, he came to the University of St. Andrews in 2019 to pursue post-graduate education within the Logos Institute for Analytic and Exegetical Theology.

Matthew Graham

​Matthew is a recent graduate from the University of St Andrews with a BSc in Neuroscience. Originally from Northern Ireland, Matthew has spent the last 4 years in St Andrews as part of Cornerstone Church, assisting with children's ministry, leading student home groups and slightly more unofficially representing the church on the football pitch. His time as an undergraduate in St Andrews has been very influential upon the central importance of Christian faith in his life, and this is something he wishes to build upon during his year of learning and serving with the Chalmer's Institute.
