The Press and Public Relations team aims to provide an effective corporate publicity and public relations service for Heriot-Watt, to promote and enhance the University's corporate image and reputation on a local, national and international level.

Founded in 1854, the Watt Club is the oldest alumni association in the UK. The Watt Club now incorporates Heriot-Watt University's Alumni Association and has branches as far afield as Australia, Norway and the USA. The Watt Club historical records are available for consultation in Heriot-Watt University Archive, and include the very first minute book of 1854. Membership of the Watt Club is automatic on graduation and free to all graduates of Heriot-Watt.
