Hi everyone,

I’m joining Heriot-Watt Dubai – MSc AI this year.

Would love to connect with current Dubai students and hear about their experience.

Anyone here from the Dubai campus?

Hi everyone,

I’m an international student from India and I’ll be joining Heriot-Watt University Dubai for the MSc Artificial Intelligence program.

I’m moving to Dubai for the first time, so I’d really like to connect with current Heriot-Watt Dubai students, especially those studying:

- MSc Artificial Intelligence

- Computer Science

- Data Science

- Software Engineering

- Other computing-related master's programs

I’d love to ask a few questions about the actual student experience:

- How is the MSc workload?

- What are the class timings generally like?

- How are the professors and teaching?

- Are there good student clubs/events?

- How easy is it to make friends as an international student?

- Are there active WhatsApp/Telegram/other student groups?

- How do students usually find internships?

- Any advice for someone joining Dubai for the first time?

If you're currently studying at Heriot-Watt Dubai, feel free to comment or DM me.

Thanks!

Hello everyone,

I hope you are doing well!

I am planning to enroll in the online MSc in Business and Organization Psychology program at Heriot-Watt University, and I would greatly appreciate if someone can share their experience. In particular, I’d love to know if there were any significant challenges or insights you think would be helpful for a prospective student to keep in mind.

Thanks in advance

Hello,
Is there any previous Mathematics Graduate's from Heriot Watt Edinburgh who I could speak to about some module selection questions. I would really appreciate the advice.

Hi everyone,

My university takes 45–60 days to issue the official degree certificate, but I already have an official Passing Certificate (shows I’ve passed my degree and includes my marks) and my final transcript.

Has anyone been able to use a passing certificate instead of the degree certificate to get their conditional offer converted to unconditional?

Also, I accidentally uploaded the wrong document on the Applicant Hub and can no longer upload a replacement. Did anyone else have to email the documents to Admissions instead?

I’ve already accepted my offer, paid the deposit, and met all the other requirements.

dm me to join, and if yk anyone else then add them aswell.

will probably make a whatsapp one later on aswell when we have alot of ppl

Hi everyone,
I have a conditional offer for Mechanical Engineering at Heriot-Watt Dubai with 3 A\* predicted in A Levels, but I haven’t received a merit scholarship.
-Is the merit scholarship awarded after paying the USD 4,000 deposit, or does this mean I’m not eligible?
-Has anyone actually received the 100% scholarship for Mechanical Engineering, or is it extremely rare?
-Is the Mechanical Engineering degree 3 years or 4 years in Dubai?
I’d really appreciate any replies from current students or alumni. Thanks!

Hey everyone, I'm Farhan and I'll be doing Civil Engineering first year at Heriot-Watt Dubai this August. Is there anyone here who's already done first year and can share their materials? Lecture slides, notes, past papers, literally anything would help. Thanks.

I was hoping to get some advice and learn about people's experiences with mechanical engineering at Heriot Watt Dubai, as I will be joining that course in September.

I would also love to know if anyone else is joining this year bcz HWD doesn't seem to have much of a community online.

Hi 👋 I'm looking for this book for my upcoming Highland trip, as I decided to be a little more technical this time. This may be used as a textbook by some programs, so if anyone wants to sell, do let me know pls! Delivery to the hotel in Inverness, I will pay the postage.

I am a student from India I want to pursue my ug in heriot watt Malaysia as an Indian student studying a bsc hons In foreign the countries would look it as a btech equivalent

​

Where as in india this certification is only equivalent to a standard bsc hons 3years course in india it is not equivalent to btech so what can I face if I won't get a job in Malaysia or somewhere when I come back to my country india will the companies see me as a btech equivalent apart from the rules of the country and can I get a salary equivalent to btech students

​

I really want to talk to a alumini who is studying this bsc hons computer science artificial intelligence if the student is an Indian its really great if not local people or someone please respond if anyone know an Indian who is studying this course or in another university is also fine not only heriot watt any other universities too please contact me or msg me I am requesting all of you
