Visiting Other Libraries in the UK
There are various arrangements in place that allow HWU students in the UK to access other university and public libraries within the UK and Ireland.

We have no reciprocal arrangements in other countries, please contact your local university directly to see if they allow visitor access.

Note: Check local government advice before making any journeys.

WiFI On Campus and Near You

eduroam (education roaming) is the secure, world‐wide roaming access service developed for the international research and education community. It allows students, researchers and staff from Heriot‐Watt to obtain Internet connectivity on‐campus and when visiting other participating institutions in 74 territories. Therefore, it may be possible for you to bring your laptop to a local university library and access the wifi there. You will then have the same access to resources as you would if you were on a Heriot‐Watt campus.
