1,010 Heriot-Watt University reviews

I highly enjoyed the last 4 years of my studies

Best- sports union Worst- student support

Best - Located just 30 minutes from the city centre by bus, the university is situated inside a lush green campus. It provides a very conducive and stress-free environment. worst - The batch size is one of the biggest problems with some courses having 150 plus students which can lead to a lack of individual attention from the tutors. This is especially a problem in the later parts of the courses like dissertation which demands a lot of one on one student-tutor interaction. A suggestion for this would be limiting the number of vacancies for each course.

The library and grid are extremely useful as study locations, the lecturers are engaging and know their subjects and the workshops are fully functional. The oriam is also a great addition, especially with its proximity and multitude of available clubs. Perhaps a pool would be good

The Heriot-Watt University is good because the staff are responsive. It makes the life of students very hard when in an unresponsive institute. The food and cafes available on campus is also a bonus. However one bad thing is the distance to city is a too far which makes life on campus quite boring.

Better gym equipment and maybe put more into the student union such as Zero’s as we haven’t really had that this year.

Lecturers can be very hit or miss. The gym facilities could be improved greatly also.

I like the many facilities available to study in peace or meet new people. However, I feel like the car parks available to the students are a bit too far away from the facilities.

Best: sport life and clubs Worse: possibly distance from town?
