Exchange programme
Our exchange programme gives you the opportunity to study or work in Europe or outside the European Union as part of your degree programme, usually for a full academic year.
There are great benefits to taking part in a student exchange programme. You can visit a new country, meet new people and experience a new way of life. Graduates with international experience are actively sought by employers.
Students participating in an exchange placement are awarded credit which counts towards their degree marks.
If you are currently studying at a university outside of the UK and are interested in taking part in an exchange to Heriot-Watt, please contact hwuexchange@hw.ac.uk.
Heriot-Watt students should contact the Global Student Office.
