Heriot-Watt University for Nigerian students
Edinburgh, United Kingdom
Edinburgh-based, with a long engineering and business tradition and campuses in Scotland, Dubai and Malaysia. A Scottish bachelor's usually runs four years rather than three, which is an extra year of fees and living costs to plan for.
We can apply to Heriot-Watt University for you, free to your family.
We prepare and submit the application, check your documents and follow up with the university. You pay us nothing; the university pays us when a student enrols. We never promise admission or a visa.

Worth knowing before you apply
Heriot-Watt also teaches in Dubai and Malaysia, often at a lower fee for the same award. We place into the Scottish campuses; ask us on the call if the Dubai route would suit you better.
A UK application needs your passport, WAEC or NECO with the scratch-card result, or your transcript and certificate for a master's, two references on letterhead, a personal statement, and proof that you can fund the course. Start with the references and the bank statements; they take longest. The visa application itself is your family's own, prepared with our checklist.
How Pathways is paid, and what we never promise
Placement is free to families. Universities pay SchoolRegistry a fee when a student we place enrols. It never changes your fee and it never changes which programme we recommend: the shortlist is ordered by fit, then refusal risk, then cost to you, and that rule is printed with every list. We do not promise admission or a visa, to anyone. Pathways is operated by Academic Support Services NG Ltd (RC 9416237), Ikeja, Lagos; write to pathway@schoolregistry.ng.

When are the intakes at Heriot-Watt University?
The intakes currently open to us are January 2027, September 2027, January 2028, September 2028. UK applications usually need to be in several months ahead, so the practical question is which intake you can still reach, not which one you want.
Can SchoolRegistry Pathways apply to Heriot-Watt University for me?
Yes. Heriot-Watt University is one of the universities we place students into directly. We prepare and submit the application, check your documents and follow up with the university. Your family pays us nothing; the university pays us when a student enrols. We do not promise admission or a visa.
What does it cost my family to use SchoolRegistry Pathways?
Nothing. Universities pay us a recruitment fee when a student we place enrols, and it never changes which course we recommend. What you pay goes to third parties: tuition, an English test if you need one, the visa fee and the funds the Home Office asks you to show.

Where these figures come from
Course counts, fees and intakes read from our partner application platform on 5 October 2026, and converted at the live exchange rate shown above. Universities change fees at least once a year and catalogue entries can lag an intake behind, so the university's own page is the authority: Heriot-Watt University fees and funding. Tell us if you find a figure here that has moved.
