Academic partnerships

Heriot-Watt University participates in a range of academic partnerships with higher education institutions, organisations and education providers across the UK and internationally.

Our Approach to Partnerships

As a UK degree-awarding body, we are guided by the principles and key practices set out by the Quality Assurance Agency, including the Quality Code Sector-Agreed Principle 8: Operating partnerships with other organisations.

In support of this principle, the University applies robust arrangements for due diligence, governance, quality assurance, monitoring and review throughout the partnership lifecycle, ensuring that academic standards are maintained and opportunities for enhancement are embedded within all partnership activity.

UK TNE Quality Scheme Participant

Heriot-Watt University is a participant in the UK TNE Quality Scheme, reflecting our commitment to delivering high-quality transnational education and an excellent student experience across our global network of campuses and partner institutions. Through our engagement with the scheme, we continue to enhance the quality, standards and student experience of our international provision.
