Heriot-Watt University: Admissions 2025, Scholarships, Fees 2025, Rankings & Courses

After lot of research on affordability in terms of fees, living expenses in the city etc. I wanted to study in a English speaking country to easily find partime jobs to manage my living expenses as well. Overall I would rate my experience 7/10.

Masters might not be the centre of co-curricular activities - it will depend on how well you make time and participate in events. The campus is very lively and the infrastructure is excellent.

So Heriot-Watt, it was actually last minute decision, I must say because I was planning on going to Canada actually. And then I was going to do a food and nutrition course. Okay, but then the plan changed in the end. And then because I was interested in psychology from before, like in 10th grade and then 12. One of my close friends was joining Heriot watt University, and she told me about this university that okay, this sounds like, you know, I'm joining first year and then I had, you know, look like I saw the courses that were available in Heriot-Watt University. And that's when I thought, okay, maybe I should be going forward with psychology, because I've been wanting to do for a while. So that's how I got to go to a friend you can say

The Library and the resources are definitely better in UK because the library in Dubai is smaller, and the resources that we get also is lesser. So I would say that, like in terms of like the study rooms, or even the individual spaces, I think there's a lot more availability in UK than in Dubai, because the campus in itself is much smaller. So I would say experiences definitely much better. So, it has a lot of clubs actually. Like in the sense like, it's called clubs, but like, I wasn't a part of many you can say, but there was those ones in drama club, social club. So it's like there's one for dance as well as a dance club. So like, there were extracurriculars dance, as far as I remember those ones for sports and gym as well. These are the extracurriculars I can remember. So we used to have lectures, and we should have tutorials, so they would do separate parts and tutorials, it used to be similar to seminars where they make us do activities, or the makers read a case study, and then you would discuss it or answer some questions based on that. So it was two separate elements and our lecture folder towards so we used to have tutorials as well, but it wasn't a part of the lecture.

University accepted a bachelor degree of 3 yrs as UK curriculum and Indian are on similar structure. Applying for US, Canada or Australia all require 4 yrs of graduation or 3yrs + 2yrs work experience

Lot of activities in the undergrad side, however since postgrad was night or weekend no activities were there. Undergrad perspective it has a lot of activities and clubs to enjoy. Campus infrastructure was also very nice, well maintained and clean

I chose Heriot-Watt University because of their faculty and the opportunities it offers. The teachers who teach this program are highly qualified and really helpful too. Also the course coordinators and other staff members were helpful.

My course fee was around £15,000 for 2 years.

It was close to home (Saudi Arabia) and my siblings also attended the university.

12,500 pounds

2+2 program lets me learn and go to a different part of the world and get educated at the same time which was desirable to make me a more global person. In addition to that, Heriot-Watt was a well-known university that had good accreditation like from IMechE.

14148 pounds for as a go global student and since I live in campus in the more expensive dorms the total is approximately 20000 pounds per year.
