Volunteering with the student union
Why should I volunteer?
Volunteer with Us. It’s more than just a line on your CV, it’s a direct route to helping Heriot-Watt students at Edinburgh, Orkney, and Galashiels. Join a volunteering network spanning every course and every year of study.
Gain a valuable insight into how some of the biggest events in the University calendar are run, ranging from Freshers Week to Global Day to the Student Oscars. Be the change for your school in one of our academic opportunities. Help run one of the student-led Societies as a committee member.
