Summary
Scottish students, brace yourself: Heriot-Watt University has officially filled all its government-funded spots — meaning no more clearing applications from you, no matter how qualified. While international and non-Scottish UK applicants still have a shot, Scottish students now face a hard reality: once those funded places are gone, that course is off the table for you this year. This isn’t an isolated case — Stirling, Glasgow, and Strathclyde are also running out of options, with only a handful of courses left. The root cause? Scotland’s tuition-free system, which caps university funding and forces institutions to turn away Scottish applicants once the government’s allocated spots are exhausted. It’s a stark reminder that your eligibility isn’t just about grades — it’s about where you’re from and how many funded places are left.
