Hello, we have a diverse student population at Heriot-Watt University (HWU) and it’s important our marketing activity reflects this. We are gathering testimonials from current students to use for a range of marketing activities across print and digital channels and we would like to hear from you.

Interested in getting involved? All you need to do is fill in our short questionnaire about your student experience and upload a headshot.

Your information will be held securely and only the HWU Marketing Team will have access to it for the purpose of producing print and digital testimonials. Our privacy notice for current students can be found here.

13. We are also looking to invite students to provide a short video testimonial for us. It would be a 30 second video created on your device telling us more about your student experience. You may even be invited to film on campus.

For this additional effort you would receive a £20 voucher to thank you for your time. If we have a large amount of interest, we may not be able to invite you to participate. We would be in contact with you to do with this in the next two months.

Would you be interested in being invited to participate?
