International Partnerships

At Heriot-Watt, we are global leaders in higher education, with fully integrated campuses in the UK, Dubai and Malaysia, and a growing network of strategic partners around the world.

We have a 'one university' approach which is consistent across all locations, while remaining flexible and responsive to national contexts, regulatory environments and cultural diversity. We specialise in developing innovative partnership models that enable universities, governments and industry to achieve their international ambitions.

Our global footprint offers a distinctive opportunity for collaboration. Partners can access expertise and infrastructure across all our campuses, enabling multi-site research, teaching and enterprise initiatives.

We are looking to collaborate with organisations that share our values, mission and commitment to creating lasting impact.

If you are interested in exploring a partnership, please contact our International Development team: internationaldevelopment@hw.ac.uk.
