International Students

Personal Tutors

Every student has a member of academic staff allocated to them as a personal tutor who will be a key source of advice, guidance and support during your time at Heriot-Watt.

Your personal tutor is your first point of contact if you need advice on any issue, both academic and non-academic. They can refer you to other support services where relevant for non-academic matters.

Personal tutors provide a clear point of contact for you throughout your degree. Find out more about Personal Tutoring here.

Thinking of Leaving?

Many students think about leaving university at some stage during their studies. If anything is bothering you or you are thinking about leaving, please speak to a member of staff to explore and understand what you can do.

You can speak to your Personal Tutor, our Student Success Advisor or our Dubai Student Services team. See here for more information about the service.
