Our Partnerships

We are growing future-ready talent and solving real-world problems together. We will adopt a more strategic and intentional approach to partnerships to expand our reach and impact.

We will build on our partnerships to add value, create opportunities, expand both numbers and types of students, and increase the reach and impact of our research, enterprise and innovation.

We will build internships and employability opportunities and enhance the student experience through our partnerships with business and industry.

Working collaboratively across disciplines, institutions and sectors, we will form dynamic research partnerships that help us co-create solutions with industry, academia and communities.

How we partner

Anchor partnerships

Corporate partners that have interests and operations across our global footprint.

Cluster partnerships

Strategic alliance and growth partnerships

Aligned with our Online Campus vision, partnerships with international institutions and platforms.

By adopting a much more intentional and strategic approach to partnership, Heriot-Watt will expand both numbers and types of students, establish new distribution channels, and also expand the reach and impact of our research, enterprise and innovation.
