Clearing vacancies – Widening Access vacancies for Scottish applicants

Heriot-Watt University is committed to widening access to students from disadvantaged backgrounds and uses a contextual approach in our admissions procedures to enable us to select applicants with the greatest potential to succeed. As part of our work on widening access, the Scottish Government has assigned a number of additional places to the University for students entering in 2013 whose home address is within the Scottish Index of Multiple Deprivation 40% most deprived areas (SIMD40). This initiative is aimed at further increasing the number of students who reside in key areas of underrepresentation in higher education taking up a place of study at the University.

If you are permanently resident in Scotland and interested in applying for any of our programmes, please contact the University on +44 (0) 131 451 3376 so that we can advise if you are eligible to be considered for one of the additional SIMD40 places. We will ask you for your postcode so that we can check to see if you live in one of the areas the Scottish Government has defined as being part of the above initiative. Entry requirements may be relaxed slightly for applicants under this initiative as per the University's Undergraduate Admissions Policy
