MSc Renewable and Sustainable Energy Transition

Heriot-Watt University

Am an online student and the best experience has been class participation and mostly due to being busy the recorded classes have really enhanced my understanding. The experience I've had tells me that full time students have even a better experience than I.

Best: You have all the resources you need for your studies, and in times of need, you can always access all the required support. I particularly enjoy the resourcefulness of the university environment and the learning culture. Worst: My first night and morning on campus was a terrible experience. I arrived at UNI at about 10 pm at night and had to stay in the cold for over 30 minutes before I could be attended to. I was coming from an over 18-hour journey. And despite getting accommodation on contract and emailing the Halls team to let them know of my arrival time and make an arrangement, I was still charged a whooping 30 pounds for a night of emergency accommodation, which I feel was outrageous if you were going to charge me for emergency accommodation despite having a room booked you might as well give me my key instead of a key to another room.

Heriot Watt Uni is just a perfect place to study, considering the facilities and activities. Take for instance the well equipped library which I can assure has all needed materials for study. The labs are great where real application of theories can be done. THe clubs and societies are just sweet. Heriot Watt is cool, smart, lovely, beautiful, awesome university!

Some things are poor here - Accommodation and the Clubs & Societies in my opinion, however being in Edinburgh is fantastic - great city and I think the course is good and I am hopeful that I will get a good job when I finish.
