Review from Heriot Watt University, Edinburgh

I chose this university because of the National Robotarium, which influences my course in robotics.  I applied to the university through a consultation agency the process was really smooth, and they helped and guided me throughout the process. Since I applied right after my UG they gave me a waiver of No IELTS Since my UG was English medium taught and my high school percentage of English was above 90. There was no requirements of GRE....Read More

I have applied to only Heriot-Watt University. I applied it way earlier than other colleges and got accepted into the university therefore I haven't applied anywhere else. It took few weeks for the acceptance letter to arrive once I submitted my application. And the process later was very easy. The process of getting the confirmation of acceptance of studies was also very easy. I chose this college particularly as it was very reputed for their actuarial science and management programs. The admission process was very simple, once the application was created and submitted, I received an acceptance letter in a few weeks, after that. There were few eligibility interviews. once those were done, we were presented with support of alumni and then students who guided us with our further application and visa processes. everything was very streamlined and idiot proof. I didn't give any exams, as my Undergraduate scores were considered as eligibility for my department and regarding the English language exams, my CBSE class 12 marks were considered as language proficiency. The overall admission experience was great, it was stress-free, and I was provided with guidance through out. I have applied for the September 2024. I received my conditional acceptance letter in January, the whole process took around 3-4 months. The first step was to get unconditional acceptance letter. This was given once I submitted all my undergraduate results, certificates. Later I had to get the CAS - Confirmation of acceptance of studies. This was given, once I completed my health related tests and once unconditional offer letter was given. Once I got the CAS, I was told to apply for the VISA. The whole admission process, was easy, even though it sounds like a long process, it is easy enough for everyone and guidance was provided all along....Read More

So Heriot-Watt, it was actually last minute decision, I must say because I was planning on going to Canada actually. And then I was going to do a food and nutrition course. Okay, but then the plan changed in the end. And then because I was interested in psychology from before, like in 10th grade and then 12. One of my close friends was joining Heriot watt University, and she told me about this university that okay, this sounds like, you know, I'm joining first year and then I had, you know, look like I saw the courses that were available in Heriot-Watt University. And that's when I thought, okay, maybe I should be going forward with psychology, because I've been wanting to do for a while. So that's how I got to go to a friend you can say...Read More
