Graduate profiles

The largest group of Heriot-Watt graduates outside of the UK

With around 3,500 alumni, Malaysia has the largest group of Heriot-Watt graduates outside of the UK.  Many are MBA graduates but Heriot-Watt's other Schools are also represented.   

A growing network across Malaysia

The alumni network is very important to us and, in Malaysia, we look forward to its continued growth as our new Putrajaya campus becomes established. Current students can also benefit from the existing network with access to alumni mentoring, guest lectures, internships and other available services.

Malaysian alumni and honorary graduates

Many of our Malaysian alumni have gone on to key roles with some of the company's major companies, such as Petronas, YTL Corporate Berhad, Exxon Mobil, Motorola and Price Waterhouse Coopers.

We have also awarded honorary degrees to highly respected individuals in Malaysia, including Tan Sri Dato' Seri (Dr) Tiong Yeoh (1988) - Chairman YTL Corp and Honorary Patron of The Watt Club Malaysia, and Tan Sri Datuk Dr Abdul Rahman Arshad (1992) - Honorary Graduate and Chairman of the Board of Heriot-Watt University Malaysia Sdn Bhd.
