Heriot-Watt University Reviews and Ratings

• I stayed at the university's accommodation.
• The monthly rent depends on the type of room; it is around £600 - £800 per month. There are rooms with a common kitchen and bathroom, or you can choose a shared kitchen but with an en suite in the room, or there are studio rooms available.
• There weren't many challenges; it is basically first-come, first-served. So I applied for the rooms online and got them way before the start date.
• Our accommodation was on campus, and it was very close. Most of the Indian students stay in and around the campus. But so do chose to stay closer to the city.

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.

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

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

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.

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

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.
