Edinburgh Campus
Surrounded by 380 acres of parkland, our Edinburgh Campus is a place to stretch legs as well as minds.
You'll find a really friendly, welcoming community at Heriot-Watt. It's easy to get to know people and it's very convenient: all our amenities are within easy reach on our Edinburgh Campus.
Over 8,200 staff and students are based on the Edinburgh Campus which is set in 380 acres of parkland, offering a unique environment for studying and socialising. It's perfect for unwinding and excellent for activities: we have some of the best purpose-built sports facilities in the region.
You'll also find you're well supported here. We have a range of services to help you make the best of your time at university and advice and support if you encounter any problems.
There's a very active Students' Association and a wide range of clubs and societies. If you choose to live on the Edinburgh campus, we offer both catered and self-catered accommodation and there are a number of places for eating, drinking and socialising.
