The learning activities consist of lectures, seminars, tutorials, practical works, site visits, individual study and group work. You will benefit from and have access to our computing software and specialist equipment in the laboratories such as surveying, light structures, concrete, geotechnics, hydraulics and hydrology, and highway engineering testing facilities. Your learning will be assessed through a combination of presentations, design projects, coursework and examination. 

Outside of the classroom, you can get involved with the Heriot-Watt University Malaysia ICE Student Chapter that provide a great opportunity to meet industry professionals, get involved in regular social and networking events, and gain insights into career prospects.
