MSc Business Strategy, Leadership and Change

Heriot-Watt University

It has great facilities and has two locations for campus. The Edinburgh campus and the Scottish Borders campus. Since I stay in the Scottish Borders campus, I can only speak for that aspect. The Scottish Borders campus is beautiful, spacious and accommodations are much much cheaper than the Edinburgh campus. The professors are welcoming and approachable. The student Union is very active. They actually listen to your complains and suggestions. There isn't much of a social life because Galashiels (the location of the campus) is a small and quiet town with lots of old people, so most students have to go to Edinburgh to have social activities. Edinburgh is 1hr away by train and it's 11.10 pounds each ride. The town centre is walkable and accessible from mostly anywhere. Overall, it's a peaceful place if you don't like the city.

The professors are experts in their respective fields, with extensive experience in digital design, innovation, and entrepreneurship. They are always available to answer questions, provide feedback on coursework and projects, and offer guidance on career opportunities. Furthermore, the program provides a range of learning opportunities that have been instrumental in my studies. We have access to the latest software and design tools, as well as state-of-the-art labs and research facilities. We also have opportunities to collaborate with industry partners on real-world projects, which has helped me to develop practical skills and build my professional network. The university has a strong focus on entrepreneurship and innovation, which is reflected in the program curriculum. We are encouraged to think creatively and develop entrepreneurial skills that will be valuable in a range of career paths. The program also provides opportunities to learn from successful entrepreneurs and business leaders, which has been inspiring and informative. The university also offers a range of resources and support services, including career counseling and mentorship, that have been instrumental in my personal and professional development. Regarding areas for improvement, I believe that there could be more practical opportunities to apply what we learn in the program. While the program does offer some real-world projects and collaborations with industry partners, I feel that more opportunities to work on real-world problems and gain hands-on experience would be beneficial. Overall, I highly recommend the Digital Design and Innovation program at Heriot-Watt University to anyone looking for a challenging and rewarding academic experience in this field. The faculty, learning opportunities, and supportive community create an environment that is conducive to personal and academic growth, and I am confident that the skills and knowledge I am gaining will be invaluable in my future career.
