Distance learning

You can study for and achieve a Heriot-Watt degree in your own country.

The degrees

Our off-campus programmes are equivalent to our on-campus programmes. Our students receive the same degree certificate as students who study at our UK campuses and graduate at the same time as on-campus students.

The quality

The syllabuses, programmes and study materials have all been written by academic staff and University staff also set and mark the examinations. This process ensures that our programmes meet the rigorous quality standards expected from a UK university.

The teaching

We work in partnership with a network of Approved Learning Partners around the world. These partner institutions provide the tutorial and classroom support for students, based on the learning materials provided by Heriot-Watt University.
