Civil Engineering Association

Hi guyz, i am starting my masters in structure and foundation engineering from HERIOT WATT university in UK..through their distant learning program.

Please shed some light on this topic. I want to have your opinion.


I did my bachelors from NUST (Times higher education ranking: 351-400)

Heriot watt ranking (351-400) & 42nd in UK

Another option was university of surrey having same worldwide ranking but 26th ranking in UK.
but its 67% more expensive than heriot watt.

In USA i liked UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA having top 11th position in the world but its really very expensive. It is about 300% more expensive than heriot watt..

so i have selected now the university of heriot watt based on the budget, ranking and subject.

Dear Rana,

I believed by now, you must have finished your MSC. Could you please share your experience because I am also got stocked considering distant /online learning or traditional class room. Thanks.
