Academic Quality
Heriot-Watt University is a UK quality assured institution. This assurance applies to all of the University’s educational provision globally – including our campuses, online learning, and academic partnerships.

We play a key role in safeguarding academic standards, enhancing the student learning experience, and supporting the development of high-quality academic partnerships.
Our work focuses on three main areas:
