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

Master's program so not much as most students are working but they do have tie ups with some companies.

University accepted a bachelor degree of 3 yrs as UK curriculum and Indian are on similar structure. Applying for US, Canada or Australia all require 4 yrs of graduation or 3yrs + 2yrs work experience

There are a lot of job opportunities/research options available to the students after their studies. A number of companies have visited and still do visit the university to let students know about the job opportunities available. Also, there are various graduate programs which enable students to get a job for 2-3 years after graduation.

I chose Heriot-Watt University because of their faculty and the opportunities it offers. The teachers who teach this program are highly qualified and really helpful too. Also the course coordinators and other staff members were helpful.

Job opportunities are nice and plentiful. I do not know much about placements yet but I have seen a lot of alumni work at good companies on LinkedIn so I hope they are good as well. The university has a daily letterbox that you can sign up for that will send you placements the careers services receive and knows about and that has helped me for several applications. In addition, personal tutors and heads of departments also send students some opportunities for internships.

2+2 program lets me learn and go to a different part of the world and get educated at the same time which was desirable to make me a more global person. In addition to that, Heriot-Watt was a well-known university that had good accreditation like from IMechE.
