Hi!

With choosing the right university it can be really tough as it's so different for each person. I'd recommend looking at the course curriculum, location of the university, how much support you get with regards to careers help and if you can make it to an open day those really help too!

For your courses curriculum at Heriot-Watt I'll link it here incase you do want to have a look: https://curriculum.hw.ac.uk/programmedetails/C21A-EBF?termcode=202324 (this is last years curriculum so may be subject to slight change but it's written here in more detail then the general one on the website)

As for fees we do offer many scholarships and bursaries which you can have a look at here: https://www.hw.ac.uk/study/fees/scholarships/postgraduate-scholarships.htm

Personally I chose Heriot-Watt because of my course being so inline with what I wanted to study, our amazing careers service and the campus being really close to Edinburgh city center (30mins on the bus to get right to the heart of Edinburgh) but while your on campus it feels like you're in the country side, it's so peaceful and serene. If you want to know more about the student experience please feel free to ask me any questions. However, if you want more course details or more information about scholarships you can also email [email protected] and they'll be very happy to answer your questions!

I hope this helps a little and in the end trust yourself and your intuition - it generally knows the right decision 🙂
