The university has some good professors.
However not much support is provided if u want to do extra academic things. Rest all the clubs and activities are nice. Could have more parking space. Good community though.

View moreThe classes are all related to ur major, and they aren’t overwhelming. I have a maximum of 4 classes per semester which is amazing. The facilities could use some work though, they are pretty outdated. Hopefully the new campus will solve that issue.
View moreThe overall experience was good but I was in love with the Edinburgh campus due to its size and focus on world-class equipment, space, and diversity. Dubai campus was very small and lacked diversity which does not give provide an overall, world-class experience. The faculty is great here though. Accommodation was very small as well.
View moreI think the school is good for someone who is either working on doing a lot of other things on the side. If you are looking for an all inclusive type of university experience then this place is not for you.
View moreI like the facilities that are available though there is always room for improvements in the way things are organised such as events. All in all, it becomes homely with the right people and with knowing the staff personally.
View moreI would recommend improving its Food Court & adding trips for students. The good thing about the university is that the quality of studies in Accountancy & Finance is pretty good with the lecturers being extremely supportive

Be it the breathtaking beauty of the campus or the people at the university, at heriot watt you will always find yourself discovering new things every single day.
View moreThe university is very good. The education is very good, the professors are very helpful. The courses provide both theoretical and practical knowledge. Also, we get an international degree.
Besides this, there are also enough number of extra curricular activities that enhance the student life at university.
By enough I mean , there is a proper balance between the education and the extra curricular activities.
Because of the above reasons, I recommend this university.
