Heriot-Watt University – STEM Programme Videos

Education, Science, Technology & Innovation | Flagship Narrative & Social Trailers

Heriot-Watt University needed a programme-specific video series to strengthen recruitment across its STEM course offerings, spanning architecture, engineering, computing, artificial intelligence, data science, life sciences, and construction management. The brief called for authentic student-led storytelling that could sit on individual programme pages while cutting down into a coherent digital and social suite.

As a returning Heriot-Watt content partner, we produced ten programme films built around a single named student per course, capturing personal journeys, academic environments, and programme-specific facilities across the Heriot-Watt Edinburgh and University of Edinburgh campuses. Two of the videos, MSc Biomedical Engineering and MSc Imaging, Vision & High-Performance Computing, are jointly delivered with the University of Edinburgh and required additional coordination across the institutional partnership.

From 2,165 clips handled and a supporting content library of nearly 1,000 pieces, we delivered ten flagship films, twenty trailers in 16:9 and 9:16 formats, and seventy-two subtitled deliverables. The completed suite gives Heriot-Watt a scalable content library that supports recruitment across the full breadth of its programme portfolio.

“This is the second large-scale project we’ve delivered with FoSho Studios, and their passion for storytelling is exactly why we continue to work with them. We approached the team with an ambitious brief to create a series of flagship videos for our undergraduate and postgraduate programmes, capturing both the academic and wider university experience through the eyes of our students.

From the get-go, FoSho took the time to fully understand our objectives, offering valuable recommendations and support throughout the process. Their communication was excellent and every stage, from planning and filming to final delivery, was managed smoothly and professionally.“

“Many of the students featured had never participated in a professional video production before and were understandably nervous. FoSho’s friendly, approachable team immediately put them at ease, creating an environment where authentic and personal stories could shine through. The result was a collection of high-quality videos, each reflecting the unique personality and experience of the individual student.“
