Entry requirements
Admission to programmes at Heriot-Watt University is by individual assessment in which experience and skills are valued alongside formal qualifications. Similarly, evidence of motivation, understanding of the aims of a proposed programme of study, referees’ reports, and further information supplied by applicants are also important.
For more specific information on entry requirements, please contact our Recruitment & Admissions Office.
