Heriot-Watt says its campuses share identical programme learning outcomes, with one Heriot-Watt degree certificate globally - meaning the certificate does not name the campus.

Who it suits.

Students who want a UK university’s degree and teaching model at Malaysian prices and distance - and who value the branch-campus route specifically. The Malaysia campus fee for the same master’s family is far below the Edinburgh campus figure (which lists GBP 24,952 full-time for international students) - though programmes, durations and what the fee covers differ by campus, so treat that as an illustration, not a like-for-like verdict.
