Our Edinburgh Campus is home to Oriam, Scotland's National Sports Performance Centre. This cutting-edge development transforms Heriot-Watt into the training hub for, among others, Scotland's national football and rugby squads. It is housed in a stunning £33 million purpose-built sports facility.

Oriam aims to be a collaborative environment to support Scotland's up-and-coming sports men and women, their coaches and volunteers, to train and prepare for competition at the highest levels. The centre also welcomes students, staff, the local community and local sports groups. We offer innovative and practice-oriented undergraduate and postgraduate degree courses in sport and sport-related areas.

Postgraduate students have the opportunity to study for an MSc in International Sport Management or an MSc in Sport Psychology. Undergraduate students can study for a BSc (Hons) in Sport and Exercise Science. Our internationally recognised sport-related research spans across sport, health sciences, business, society and psychology.

Our research addresses societal needs which is supported by elite athletes, Oriam facilities and industry partnerships.
