Hi,

I’ve applied to EEE at Heriot watt. Been out of school since 2015 so it’ll be a big change from what I’ve been doing since then.
I got a notification from UCAS track on the 14th saying I’ve got an offer but I’ve heard nothing from Heriot-Watt themselves, is that normal?

Is it easy and inexpensive to get in and out of the city (Edinburgh) ? Also does it get like super quiet because I visited the uni and barely anyone was about.

hi soo I studied at the Malaysian branch of the university, hence wouldn't be able to comment much on Edinburgh unfortunately

however, I really love the teaching stuff for their devotion and amiableness! graduate prospects are great especially if you get first class
Just got an offer ABB for Geography (MA) , one day after I sent my form in !!!!!

No idea, would have to look at their admissions data.

Mechanical engineering with energy engineering
Hi! I’ve applied for both mechanical engineering and mechanical engineering with energy engineering, I haven’t heard back yet but I only applied on Saturday 🤷🏻*♀️ I heard someone say they weren’t giving out anymore offers until after Christmas, does anyone know if that’s true?
