Heriot-Watt University Virtual Open Day, Friday 3 July 2020

We would therefore like to invite your pupils to join us for our upcoming Virtual Open Days. These will provide key information on our programmes and campuses, as well as give attendees the opportunity to engage with current students through panel sessions and other live content. Our Edinburgh Campus event will take place on Friday 3 July, with details available on a wide range of subject areas including the Social Sciences, Technology and Engineering. Those interested in pursuing Textiles and Design programmes are encouraged to register for the Scottish Borders Campus event that will run on the same date. Registration forms are available at https://www.hw.ac.uk/uk/visit/open-days.htm.

In addition to this activity, we will also be hosting a series of follow up webinar sessions between Monday 6 July and Friday 17 July. During this time, there will be further opportunities to put questions to our academic staff and admissions colleagues. As part of the programme, our Scottish and UK Recruitment Manager will lead two information sessions for parents and carers, covering not only the support Heriot-Watt University offers to students but also the broader higher education climate in Scotland. These will take place at 19:00 on Tuesday 7 July and Wednesday 15 July, with the link to join us now available at https://www.hw.ac.uk/uk/visit/open-days.htm. If you feel this webinar would be of interest to anyone within your school community, we would be extremely grateful if you could pass on this information.

Please feel free to let me know if there is anything you would like to discuss in more detail, or if you have any queries.

Many thanks for your continued support.
