Dubai, UAE: Heriot-Watt University Dubai (HWUD) has launched scholarships for all students from India, in light of the current COVID-19 pandemic situation in the country. Called the COVID-19 Relief Scholarships, it will offer all Indian students enrolling from India a fee reduction of AED 8,000 or INR 160,000 approximately for the September 2021 intake.
The scholarship is applicable to all Undergraduate, Postgraduate and Foundation programmes. Students will be eligible for additional scholarships of up to 50% over and above the COVID-19 Relief Scholarships. They will also be guaranteed transfer to the UK Campus after two years in Dubai as part of the University’s 2+2 programme at the Undergraduate level.

As workplaces become more competitive and many students leave universities with exemplary degrees, it is becoming harder than ever to stand out from the crowd. However, by considering your choice of university wisely, you can have a head start, and it could certainly impact favourably on your future career goals. So, where should you start?
“When choosing a university, what to study should be the first question, which ultimately depends on one’s career aspirations,” says Claire Roper-Browning, Regional Director, Marketing, Recruitment, Admissions and Communications at Heriot-Watt University Dubai.
