As a global University, we understand the importance of diverse perspectives and inclusive networks in the world of science and engineering. Our Go Global initiative encourages you to study at our Dubai and Malaysia campuses for a semester, a year or long and develop yourself as a global citizen.
Many of our degrees are taught across Heriot-Watt's global campuses in Edinburgh, Dubai and Malaysia. The curriculum remains the same across the campuses to ensure your learning remains consistent and you can carry on your studies no matter which campus you're studying at. This inter-campus experience allows you to better understand the global challenges in science and engineering, and apply your learning to various international problems.
Students who remain at the Edinburgh Campus for the entirety of their degree will still benefit from a diverse, inclusive learning environment, helping them grow personally and professionally
