Fees and finance
Tuition fees and living costs
The cost of postgraduate study at Heriot-Watt University depends both on the chosen course and the nationality of the student. See tuition fees.
Funding available
The Engineering & Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) provides bi-annual funding to UK universities to support their doctoral training and development in the fields of engineering and the physical sciences.
The majority of DTP funding supports studentships with relevance to the EPSRC remit and can fund stipend and fees for up to 3.5 years.
We are open to Heriot-Watt, industrial partner and student-led research ideas. Find more information here.
Other funding
