Institution Profile

Hello from the Student Recruitment Team at Heriot-Watt University

We are the Student Recruitment Team at Heriot-Watt University, and we are ready to help you explore your university options. We focus on working with schools and colleges, giving presentations, attending fairs and events and inviting future students to explore our campuses. We’ve been based in Edinburgh since 1821, just 6 miles from the city centre in a beautiful parkland campus and our School of Textiles and Design is based in Galashiels.

Heriot-Watt is the 8th oldest higher education institution in the UK and we’re known for our world class facilities, expert teaching and research excellence. From engineering to textiles, economics to robotics, we offer a wide range of subjects to choose from. We are also a global university with our Dubai and Malaysia campuses providing international study opportunities for you to broaden your horizons.

Our job is to support you as you figure out what’s next for your education. We give clear, easy-to-understand presentations that fit into your schedule. After each presentation, you’ll have the chance to ask questions during an interactive Q&A, where we’ll give you all the info you need. If you’d rather talk privately, you can reach us by email, phone, or through platforms like Unibuddy.

Get in touch today - we’re excited to help you take the next step toward your academic and career goals.
