Overview

Heriot-Watt University is a product of the Scottish Enlightenment. A pioneer in bringing education to working people in1821 and founder of a global movement through the creation of the world’s first Mechanics Institute. Today we have five campus locations worldwide nurturing scholars who are creating transformational solutions to global problems. This is our story.

World-Class University
Heriot-Watt is an integrated global university with strong links across Europe and the rest of the world. Since our foundation as the School of Arts, the world’s first Mechanics Institute, we have been outward-looking pioneers of education, in pursuit of knowledge for the benefit of society and the world. Our campuses across the globe and international community create a distinct university experience and a springboard for an international career. Specialists, creative and experts, our people set the gold standard and are sought by the best organizations in the world. We build inventive, entrepreneurial, and resilient minds within a nurturing environment of leaders in ideas and solutions.

Origins Of Our Name
In 1852 the Edinburgh School of Arts changed its name to become the Watt Institution and School of Arts, in honour of the great Scottish inventor, mechanical engineer, and chemist, James Watt. A pioneer of the steam engine, he was widely acknowledged as the father of the industrial revolution. George Heriot was a 17th-century philanthropist and financier to King James VI. In 1885 the School was renamed Heriot-Watt College and in 1966 Heriot-Watt University was established by the Royal Charter. Both Heriot and Watt were two successful, pioneering professionals of their time, whose skills and attitudes in finance and technology are still reflected in the ethos of the University today.
