大学概况University Profile

Heriot-Watt has a striking new campus in Malaysia to add to those in Dubai, Orkney, Galashiels and its original base on the outskirts of Edinburgh. The university’s name is on almost half of all Scottish degrees awarded to students studying overseas, making it the country’s most international university.

The university delivers degree programmes to more than 18,500 students in 150 countries. As well as offering opportunities to independent learners to study in their own country, Heriot-Watt has 50 partner universities and colleges in over 35 countries.

And international students also fill around a third of the places on the Edinburgh campus – one of the biggest proportions in the UK. Heriot-Watt won an award from the Scottish Council of Development and Industry, partly for its support for international students.

In the UK, however, it is known above all for a consistently good graduate employment record, which places it in the top 40 in our league table this year. Our Scottish University of the Year for 2011 and 2012 also scores highly for student satisfaction 

The university’s strengths lie in the physical sciences, mathematics, business and management, engineering and the built environment. Concentration on these areas is fitting for a university which commemorates James Watt, the pioneer of steam power, and George Heriot, financier to King James VI. The university has fostered interdisciplinary teaching and research, with a battery of employment-related degrees.

More than half of the UK-based students are from Scotland and just under 20% from other parts of Britain. Almost nine out of ten are from state schools and colleges, while a quarter come from working-class homes. The demand for places has been rising: applications were up by 11% in 2013, enabling the university to increase the size of the undergraduate intake and compensate for a drop in the previous year.

The main campus, in an attractive parkland setting in the Edinburgh suburb of Riccarton, still has a modern feel more than 40 years after it opened, and a £34m project has seen the opening of new residences at both Heriot-Watt’s Edinburgh and Scottish Borders campuses.

The main campus is to be the location for the purpose-built National Performance Centre for Sport (NPCS), a joint venture with the City of Edinburgh Council. The £30m facility will feature a Hampden replica pitch, outdoor synthetic and grass pitches for football and rugby, a nine-court sports hall, a 3G indoor pitch and a fitness suite, as well as world-class facilities for sports science and medicine.

The Scottish Borders Campus in Galashiels, 35 miles south of Edinburgh, specialises in textiles, fashion and design. Heriot-Watt and Borders College have signed a partnership agreement for a long-term collaboration to deliver higher and further education in the historically under-provided region, both institutions now sharing new campus facilities costing £12m.

The campus at Stromness, in Orkney, is for postgraduates and specialises in renewable energy.

Students in Dubai take business, engineering, science, technology or textiles and design courses. Numbers in the Gulf state have risen to almost 3,700 and continue to grow towards 6,000, as the university invests £35m in the campus.

The new Malaysian campus is now accepting students and has space for up to 4,000 students to take a range of degree programmes in science, engineering, business, mathematics and design. It is possible for Scotland-based students to study for part of their degrees at these foreign outposts, giving them valuable experience of living and working abroad.

More than half of the work submitted for the last Research Assessment Exercise was rated world-leading or internationally excellent. Mathematics produced the best results, but there were good grades, too, in petroleum engineering, physics, general engineering, the built environment, and art and design.

An estimated £14m will be needed to provide extra room for growing numbers of research-active staff and a separate project will create a new facility for the geosciences, marine sciences and related engineering disciplines that will also house the British Geological Survey.

The university has a number of sports scholarships and university teams do well. Music also thrives: there is a professional Director of Music and a number of music scholarships, as well as a varied programme of concerts and performances.

The students’ union was named Scottish Student Union of the Year by NUS Scotland. The 12 halls of residence are conveniently placed and house some 1,800 students. Built on the grounds of a country house, the landscaped Riccarton campus boasts a loch and a sunken garden. Regular bus services link to the city centre and its wide range of nightlife and cultural events.
