My Heriot-Watt Dubai Experience

Tips: It should be remembered that the university is where one needs to lay the groundwork for their future career, but what needs to be done in order to further improve skills lies with the individual. One must be independent and industrious in order to take part in club and university events. Another important point is that one should think about building one’s CV and skill set while studying at the university. One should take into account budgeting since maintenance in Dubai is quite costly.

Likes (Quality of faculty): The teachers are friendly and always there to assist whenever we need them. We are able to ask our questions either in class, after class, or even via email. Usually, responses come back to us in one or two days. There is a mix of theory and practice in the classroom.

Dislikes (Part time work): On-campus part-time jobs are also available at times, but these are quite scarce and cannot be depended on for earning money regularly. After doing some research and applying for some, there are many off-campus jobs available that can be easily accessed, especially in Dubai. It is not difficult to combine studies with a part-time job with proper time management. The pay rates depend on the type of job, employer, and working hours.

Strong academics , independent learning, and career focused

Tips: Before joining Heriot Watt, expect a self-directed learning style and fast academic pace; cultural shifts include independent living and diverse classmates, and adapting to UK academic expectations and teaching style are more discussion- and application-based rather than memorization. Overall it's a strong university.

Likes (Indian Food): You likely found good restaurant variety and reasonable availability of your cuisine, eating out is convenient, there are so many restaurants nearby which we can get our food and many areas have also ethnic grocery and street food spots that makes home style cooking easier and more affordable.

Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): The biggest issue is usually that the visa pathways are incredibly confusing and the rules for staying long-term keep changing. Honestly, your chances of staying permanently completely depend on your specific job skills, what’s in demand, and how well you fit into the current immigration policies. Without those pieces aligning, settling down here is technically possible, but you definitely can't bet on it. If you don't have a bulletproof plan or a really strong route to qualify, the whole thing is honestly a gamble rather than a safe bet.
