Heriot-Watt 2016 Applicants - Ask us anything!

Hiya, was just wondering how offers are made in regards to Btec Extended Diplomas (19 Modules giving 180 credits, with a maximum Ucas of 420)? I'm on course to achieve D*DD and I am applying for Psychology and Psychology with Forensic science

Have chemical engineering offers started to be given yet?? Some people have told me that because I'm from England I won't be as favoured as a Scottish student, is this true?

thanks for your help again, i received an unconditional offer, very happy!

Hi, I was wondering if you could tell me if Herriot Watt have started giving offers for Information Systems (Internet Systems) G501? I'm wishing upon an unconditional from Herriot Watt if i do it will be my firm!

I look forward to hearing from you!

I am so happy. Got my unconditional for Electrical and Electronic Engineering, last night at 8.30pm! Really was not expecting anything at that time of night so a really , really nice surprise. Heriot's was my first choice so very, very happy. Just for info I'm a Scottish student.

Hey, I was just curious when the university starts to make and send offers out for BA Fashion Marketing and Retailing? I sent my application at the beginning of November and was just curious to know when people will start hearing about this course.

Many thanks,
Ben

Greetings Sir/Madam

I am an S6 pupil from Westhill Academy, who has applied for MEng Chemical Engineering at your university. I was wondering how many applicants you accept for Chemical Engineering and also how many Engineering applicants you accept also. I am awaiting a response from Heriot Watt regarding their decision, but im being patient.

I am also curious if the university offers any sort of discounts on the accommodation.

Thank you.

Hi,

I was just wondering when the offers for the BEng in Chemical Engineering would start coming out?

And also, if I choose to come to HW, would it be possible to transfer to the MEng later on?

Thank you

Hi, i want to apply for MSc Petroleum Geoscience at Heriot Watt. On the webpage stated that there is no official deadline for this program that the application will be accepted until the beginning of the term. I'm planning to apply as soon as possible, but i have some questions regarding the submission:

1. Is it too late for me to apply now? how likely is this class haven't full yet and still accepting student?

2. It stated that one of the requirement is a Financial Guarantee. I have received a financial support in form of full scholarship from Ministry of Finance, of National Government, to fund my graduate study with amount of living allowance is approximately GBP 1.000 and the amount of any educational fund including tuition fee will be given at cost throughout study period at Heriot-Watt. However, i need to get the letter of acceptance of the university first to get the Letter of Guarantee from the scholarship grantor. What should i do in this condition? is there any way for me to prove my financial status?

Thank you in advance for your time and consideration, I look forward to hear from you.

Hello,
Thank you for the reply. I have an offer for second year entry, I was just checking that if it was my insurance, and I missed my firm offer, would I be able to go into first year with BBB even though my offer was to go in at second year with ABB?

I was also wondering when Robotics offer holder day invites would be sent? I have been invited to an information evening but the email said that subject specific offer holder day invites would be sent shortly after receiving an offer. However, I received my offer several weeks ago and haven't been invited to an offer holder day and am eager to visit the department as I missed the open days.

Thank you for your time,
Hannah

Hi arch0wnz,

The department have started to look at the applications now so hopefully you will here from us soon.

If you choose to come to HW then yes you can definitely change between the two streams! Depending on how you do in the first three years will determine if you are on the BEng or the MEng stream and many students move from one to another.

Hope this has helped.

Cheers,
Keir

I've applied for Artificial Intelligence at Heriot-Watt. I'm applying as a Mature Student, worked at BlackBerry for 6 years and worked in technical roles for over a decade. I've set up networks, performed migrations and worked with engineers in reading logs and identifying issues.

Are mature students something Heriot-Watt does a lot of work with?

Any idea when Business degree offers will be going out?

Greetings,

I applied to do a MEng Chemical Engineering at Heriot Watt for 2016 entry, and im wondering, if i do get accepted, which i hopefully will, do the successful applicants get invited to some sort of open day? Its just that i'd rather see the university first before going there when i start.

Also, is it possible to do a masters at a different uni, if you applied for a MEng course on UCAS?

Thanks

Ola

So happy, I just received my offer for MSc Finance
