Keep connected
Together we continue to develop a global network of impact
Gavin Rennie Alumni Engagement Officer
“Being a part of Heriot-Watt is much more than the time you spent studying with us. As a graduate of the University, your membership of The Watt Club is automatic and lifelong and comes with a range of benefits.
These include a tailored events programme, delivered in person and online, which in recent times has seen us host special gatherings in Norway, New York, Houston, Beijing and Hong Kong. We also support you to build your network and aim to keep you up-to-date with news from the University and our diverse alumni community via our social media channels.
As a Watt Club member, you can enjoy lifelong access to Heriot-Watt’s careers service. Find out more about the support it can provide and discover our mentoring programme for current students, which you might like to consider getting involved with.
Remember, the Alumni Team is here to serve you. Our aim is to continually develop our programme to keep it relevant and useful to you. We would welcome your ideas on how best we can deliver more of what matters for you. So please get in touch!”

Linking up with like-minded professionals
One of the most significant benefits of being part of our flourishing community of global alumni is the opportunity to build lasting connections with other professionals around the world. We know that you can find this incredibly valuable, so in collaboration with our Watt Club branches, we seek to offer events designed to help you make connections and build your network.
Staying connected with colleagues
Many of you will have formed lifelong friendships with your fellow scholars and with the academics who taught you. We know these friendships are so important and encourage you to stay connected, reunite, and even come back to campus, to continue to build memories together.
Developing the skills to advance your career
We want to support your success as you navigate your career pathway. We can help you access professional development opportunities and you can take advantage of a generous alumni discount if you return to study one of our postgraduate courses.
Supporting the next generation of talent
Many alumni tell us that the opportunity to give back is an enriching aspect of being part of the University’s wider community. Some choose to mentor our students, others provide internships and work experience opportunities. Others support our fundraising campaigns and routes to widening access to education. We are hugely grateful to everyone who gives back.
