Thank you once again for doing your part to keep Edarabia the most trusted education source.
I had the pleasure of working with Jeswin Jinu, the Student Recruitment Coordinator at Heriot Watt University Dubai, during my admission process. As a transfer student, I had numerous queries and concerns. Jeswin was incredibly patient and addressed each of my questions with great detail. His prompt responses on WhatsApp, calls, and emails were very reassuring.
Jeswin's empathetic approach and readiness to guide me through the process were truly appreciated. He made the start of my Heriot Watt University journey pleasant and smooth. Thank you, Jeswin, for your patience, empathy, and excellent guidance. You took away many of my doubts and reassured my decision to join Heriot Watt. Keep up the great work!

I started with their foundation program, then dove into BSc Psychology, and now I’m chasing my MSc in Business Psychology. The foundation faculty is like the real-life superheroes—always there when you need them, ready to swoop in with assistance. Whether it’s a tricky concept or just a pep talk, they’ve got your back! The psychology faculty made me fall in love with the subject with their passionate lectures. Even the research part of it and all the articles I had to read. Overall studying here has been a great achievement!
