Quite broad as it was a research-based study. We had multiple visits to textile mills and other industries until Covid hit.
It was close 13 L - INR
I think the course content doesn't change much. But it's actually nice. Like the experience, I think, was better because I feel like the professor's, I think it was better there. Like, I don't know, maybe the experience is different. That's all the course content doesn't change. But the experience is different.
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
I enjoyed it as unlike the Indian curriculum it focuses more on practical assignment and situation based exams making it more interesting to learn, rather than textbook learning. Teachers are well experienced and classes are small with teacher focusing on each student better. I got chance to do an internship in university as a lab assistant and another internship through my university at a company
65000 AED
It is very well relevant and updated from time to time. The faculty is also highly informative and qualified. They teach in the best possible way. They help students with questions and concerns as quickly as possible. They are really helpful. The course material and assignments are also updated regularly by including current events happening around us.
My course fee was around £15,000 for 2 years.
I think it's quite up to date and we gain relevant practical knowledge from guest speakers from relevant industries
12,500 pounds
The course curriculum is good but it could be pushed forward a bit meaning some of the stuff I'm doing in the 3rd year could've been done in the 2nd year because 1st year is mainly just basic stuff that most of us did in high school.
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.
