About
Heriot-Watt University Dubai Campus opened initially in 2005 at
the Dubai International Academic City University Complex. It
originally started with 120 students, with plans to increase the number
to 1,500 students within a 5-year time frame. However, the pace of its
expansion outstripped this projection, and by 2010 it had reached its
original capacity of 2,000 students.
Construction of Heriot-Watt University's purpose-built campus in Dubai
International Academic City began in 2010. This state of the art campus
officially opened on 3 November 2011, increasing the capacity of Heriot-Watt
Dubai Campus to 4,500 students.
