Student Union
There's more to university life than simply getting your degree, and Heriot-Watt University Student Union is all about helping you to have the best possible experience while you study here.
Heriot-Watt University Student Union is run by students, for students. It aims to promote, defend and extend students rights, provide advice and support, empower student social and voluntary activity as well as providing a range of services in an environment where individuals can feel safe and able to participate.
It is dedicated to ensuring that the student experience at Heriot-Watt is rewarding, and involves activities that are fun, while helping to develop a whole range of skills and abilities.
The Student Union welcomes any student who wants to get involved, whether running events, counselling, campaigning or sound engineering. The list is endless: there is something in the Student Union for everyone.
We encourage as many students as possible to get involved in the work of the Union. Student volunteers work on everything from supporting students with welfare issues, to setting up an entertainment venue or campaigning on students' rights. You will also have the opportunity to make the most of the great variety of sports clubs and student societies.
