Heriot-Watt's Edinburgh's campus provides a top quality living and working environment in one of the world's great cities. The Campus occupies 380 acres of mature meadow and woodland to the west of Edinburgh, just six minutes from Edinburgh airport, and some 20 minutes from the city centre by car. On site we also have the Edinburgh Conference Centre, one of the top conference venues in the country. The Campus is also home to a large Research Park, the first of its kind in Europe, representing Heriot-Watt's commitment to active collaboration with industry.

The Scottish Borders Campus in Galashiels is 38 miles south of Edinburgh, right at the very heart of the Borders. Historically the town's prosperity was founded in the textile industry.

The Campus is well serviced with excellent integrated learning facilities, computer suites, including CAD/CAM studios, specialised workshops, spacious studios for weave, knit, print and apparel, library, careers service, student support service and a Gallery with regularly changing exhibitions from local and national artists.

Heriot-Watt University's Dubai Campus is a purpose-built modern campus of over 40,000 square feet in Dubai Academic City formally opened in March 2006. The campus offers a range of undergraduate and postgraduate courses which reflect the University's Scottish Schools and Institutes as well as student exchanges and campus transfers.

Heriot-Watt University is organised into six Schools, each of which provides academic programmes that reflect our emphasis on professional courses which prepare students for graduate level employment. Within each programme there are a number of different courses at undergraduate and postgraduate level (except for the Edinburgh Business School and the Institute of Petroleum Engineering which are exclusively postgraduate). The University is recognised internationally as a centre of high calibre research in science, engineering and business and we believe that this high level of performance in research has a direct bearing on the quality of our taught courses.

A wide range of administration and support services as well as business and commercial services are available to staff and students of Heriot-Watt University. These cover Academic Registry services - tuition fees, examinations, graduation etc - through Recruitment and Admissions, accommodation and welfare, library services, banking, sport, careers service, bookshop, music and many more.
