Dubai Campus students

Enrolment is the process of formally joining the University and becoming a Heriot-Watt student. You agree to abide by the rules of the University and to pay any fees, and we ask you to confirm that we have your correct details.

Enrolment is now open for January 2022 and can be done through student self service.

Here is a useful video to guide you through the enrolment process.

Enrolling online involves:

• Checking and updating your personal details, 
• Uploading a photograph for your student card, 
• Checking your programme and fees and agreeing to our terms and conditions. 
• International students subject to immigration control will also need to enter their visa details. 

After you complete online enrolment you will need to register for your courses online. Access to course registration may vary depending on your programme, as you may require guidance before making your choices.

On completion of online enrolment you will be given access to your University email and myHWU Student Portal through which you can access many other services and facilities. 

Please note you can only enrol online once you have accepted your unconditional offer and paid your fees.

Logging in to student self service

Log in by entering your:

• Heriot-Watt University person ID (number beginning with 'H00' which can be found on any recent correspondence from us)
• PIN number (your date of birth in ddmmyy format)

The first time you log in, you will be asked to change your PIN number. Please keep these details safe, as you'll need them the next time you log in.

Upload a photograph

Please upload a photograph for your student identity card. This should be a clearly identifiable passport-style photograph.

 

Being a student comes with a lot of financial obligations, and it is important that you are aware of these before you start your studies with us.

Tuition fees will most likely be the biggest financial obligation you have, and you should make sure you understand how and when to pay these before you start with us. There may also be scholarships and discounts available to you, which can give you some additional support and funding during your university career.

You can contact dubai-finance@hw.ac.uk for further assistance.
