Electrical Engineering Partnership Route students complete a relevant HND at Edinburgh College or Forth Valley College, which allows direct entry to year 3 at Heriot-Watt University. This undergraduate programme will make you aware of the range of functions a qualified engineer can fulfil, whilst exploring industry-specific design techniques and software packages. You’ll analyse economic and commercial aspects of business and develop the skills to create solutions to the current and emerging general and specialist problems in electrical engineering. During your studies, you will apply our ‘learning by doing’ philosophy by practically developing your skills beyond traditional academic content. You’ll work on both individual and group projects from third year onwards, gaining valuable hands-on experience. The projects challenge you to solve a 'real life' problem. Your student experience will be enhanced by the expertise of our research-active robotics and electrical and electronic engineers and academics. 96% of Heriot-Watt University’s engineering research was classed as world-leading in the REF 2021 review, which ranked us 1st in Scotland and 3rd in the UK for engineering research.
