What appealed to you most about Heriot-Watt University?

The most appealing part of Heriot-Watt University to me is the fact that is a reputable UK university that was first established as the world's first mechanics' institute. As I am interested in engineering, this fact made me trust that I can get good and proper education from this university.

What tips would you give to a student thinking of studying at Heriot- Watt?

I would advise the student to attend one of HWUM's Open Days to find out more details about Heriot-Watt and the courses, facilities and services they provide. This can help him/her know more about what to expect from Heriot-Watt University and decide whether it is suitable for him/her. If they are an SPM leaver or equivalent, I would also highly recommend them to join the Youth Transformation Programme.

What did you enjoy the most about studying your foundation?

The facilities that are provided to the students such as the library and common rooms are all very convenient places to both do work and relax. The view of the lake from the campus is also a part that I enjoy very much.

Do you feel your foundation has prepared you well for a career?

Yes, my foundation programme has been very helpful in preparing me with the core basics that I need for a career. The systematic and organised syllabus makes learning easier and more confidence-inspiring.

Has your foundation programme help you develop links with industry?

Yes, my foundation programme has given me insights on how things work in the industry through the field trips that are organised by the university.

How do you think your foundation will impact on your career prospects?

I think my foundation programme will impact my career prospect significantly because it helps me make the right choices when choosing a degree to pursue. The degree that I pursue will determine my career path so it is important that I can make the right choices confidently.
