Despite being one of the oldest learning institutions in the UK, it offers a contemporary, research-driven approach to learning that ensures students are always benefiting from the very latest in global knowledge.
The Edinburgh campus is based on 380 acres of parkland just outside of the city centre, although courses are also available at the Borders campus, the Orkney campus and online. There are also international campuses in Dubai and Malaysia.
Heriot-Watt offers a vibrant student environment, with modern facilities and extensive support giving students the best chance of success. All courses are tailored towards future employability and the enhancement of global society.
The campuses are well placed for an enriching student life, whether it’s enjoying the wonderful culture of Edinburgh or the breath-taking scenery and outdoors activities of the Orkney Islands.
And there is plenty to do within the university too, including events run by the students’ union alongside a wealth of clubs and societies, helping postgraduate students to feel included in its welcoming student community.
