Accreditations and Professional Bodies
Institution of Engineering and Technology - IET Accreditation
Our BEng (Hons) Electrical and Electronic Engineering and BEng (Hons) Robotics, Autonomous, and Interactive Systems programmes are IET-accredited. The IET accreditation is one of the world’s leading professional societies for engineers and technicians and is recognised globally as an indicator of quality. This accreditation helps improve graduate employability, ensuring that our students have developed the appropriate skills and knowledge for an engineering career and professional registration.
Programmes:
- Beng (Hons) Electrical and Electronic Engineering
- Beng (Hons) Robotics, Autonomous and Interactive Systems
Energy Institute - EI Accreditation
Our BEng (Hons) Mechanical Engineering and Energy Engineering programme is accredited by the Energy Institute (EI). Accreditation gives assurance to our students that the programme is competent, meets the needs of employers, delivers the right skills, and provides a pathway to professional registration.
Programme:
- BEng (Hons) Mechanical Engineering and Energy Engineering
Institution of Chemical Engineers - IChemE Accreditation
Our BEng (Hons) Chemical Engineering programme is IChemE accredited to satisfy the academic requirements for registration as an Incorporated Chemical Engineer (IEng) and partially meeting the academic requirements for registration as a Chartered Chemical Engineer. By achieving the IChemE accreditation, Heriot-Watt University has demonstrated that their programmes are academically sound and industrially relevant.
Programme:
- BEng (Hons) Chemical Engineering
Institution of Mechanical Engineers - IMechE Accreditation
Our BEng (Hons) Mechanical Engineering, BEng (Hons) Mechanical Engineering and Energy Engineering, and BEng (Hons) Automotive Engineering programmes are IMechE-accredited. Studying an IMechE-accredited programme provides the best start to gaining professional registration and confirms Heriot-Watt University's reputation as a quality education provider. IMechE accreditation means that students meet, in part, the exemplifying academic benchmark requirements for registration as a Chartered Engineer and will need to complete an approved format of further learning pursuant to the requirements of UK-SPEC. Secondly, they will automatically meet, in full, the exemplifying academic benchmark requirements for registration as an Incorporated Engineer (IEng).
