Malaysia 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 will open in August and can be done through the Student Self Service.

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. 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 to the myHWU Student Portal (it may take up to 24 hours to be able to access) through which you can access many other services and facilities.  Therefore, we highly recommend that you complete your enrolment as early as possible, before your Welcome Week commences.

Please note you can only enrol online once you have an unconditional offer.

Bring along your original documents

Please bring along your original identity card (IC) or passport, certificates and results or transcripts for verification. Online enrolment cannot be completed without the sighting of your original IC or passport.

Complete enrolment

Your enrolment confirmation letter will be stamped once you have completed enrolment. Once you are enrolled you will have access to the University’s IT systems, facilities and resources.

You will be issued with a student identity card for the duration of your studies at Heriot-Watt University.

A charge equivalent to RM55 will be made for a replacement card in the event of loss or damage. No charge will be levied if an official police report is produced confirming that the card has been stolen.

Document verification

Your original IC or passport, certificates and results or transcripts will be sighted for verification.

Your welcome week (orientation) programme will give you the chance to learn more about the programme you will be studying, and the opportunity to meet your academic and fellow students. Welcome Week activities take place online during Welcome Week (1 – 12 September 2020).

 

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Welcome Week activities and timetables have yet to be confirmed. Check your emails regularly for updates on this and other aspects of your university studies.

 

When published, timetables can be found on the Welcome Week Timetables webpage.

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 Bursaries available to you, which can give you some additional support and funding during your university life.

 

If something unexpected happens to you during your studies which means you come into financial difficulties, the University may be able to support you during this time.
