What students say about Heriot-Watt University
Likes
- I enjoyed it because unlike the Indian curriculum, it focuses more on practical assignments and situation-based exams, which makes learning more interesting compared to textbook learning.
- They are very helpful in assisting you in obtaining one, and the careers services provide a wonderful experience by ensuring they address all of your questions.
- I do not know much about placements yet, but I have seen a lot of alumni working at good companies on LinkedIn, so I hope they are good as well.
- If you received a 50% scholarship, it would cover 50% of the first year and be distributed throughout your time at university.
- The library and the resources are definitely better in the UK because the library in Dubai is smaller, and we also get fewer resources.
- The campus hostel is better, but some of my friends also live off-campus in student accommodation because they go out more.
- My course professors and course director/coordinator have been really helpful in providing information, support, and resolving my concerns.
- The 2+2 program allows me to learn and be educated in a different part of the world at the same time, which is desirable in order to become a more global person.

- Likes:
- I liked the Library and cafeteria for quick snacks and coffee; they had a loyalty system in place.
- Dislikes:
- Disliked the distance to reach campus from the town centre (Galashiels) - had to walk a little over a mile or choose taxis at 5-8 pounds.
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.
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.
