Offer holders

Congratulations on your offer - the first step in your adventure with Heriot-Watt University.

We’re delighted to offer you a place at Heriot-Watt University! We know you’ll have questions about what comes next, so we’ve listed some handy information below on what you can expect. From open days to webinars, we invite you to explore what life is like as a student at Heriot-Watt, and everything you can achieve with us.

Offer holder days

Unlike an Open Day, our Offer Holder Days are by booking only and are exclusive to those who have applied to study with us. The day will give you the opportunity to find out more about what it will be like to study your chosen subject, meet some of your future lecturers, chat to current students and prepare yourself to be a Heriot-Watt student.

Please note: Our Edinburgh and Scottish Border Offer Holder Days for 2025 are now finished. If you would like to come and explore your preferred campus, you can book a guided campus tour on a different date.
