[edit] Unsupported criticism
I removed the following paragraphs from the article because there are not supported by any references.
- Heriot-Watt University is well known because of the high quality teaching in languages (French, Spanish and German mainly) and engineering and sciences (Petroleum engineering courses, for example).
- Heriot watts computer science department however leavs a lot to be desired. whereas other universities take the approch of allowing students to sellect a particular field Heriot watt tries to teach a bit of everything. this results in many students reaching there final year with no specialist knowledge withing a particular field meaning that it is much harder for them to find a suitible job in the long run.

[edit] University ratings
(I'm posting this to all articles on UK universities as so far discussion hasn't really taken off on Wikipedia:WikiProject Universities.)
There needs to be a broader convention about which university rankings to include in articles. Currently it seems most pages are listing primarily those that show the institution at its best (or worst in a few cases). See Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Universities#University ratings.

[edit] Templates
The UK wide universities template contains all the information in the Scottish universities template and more. There isn't any need to use the latter as well when the information it contains is identical to the Scotland field in the UK template. Timrollpickering 21:40, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
