So fresh, so clean

Settling into uni life is all about making your space feel yours (and looking the part on campus). One of the easiest, most satisfying ways? Grabbing some official Heriot-Watt merch! We've picked out five merch faves from the online Student Union store that you’ll actually use, not just collect dust.

1. The Unisex Laurel Hoodie (£36.00)

This is the cosy king of hoodies. The Laurel design gives it a bit more flair than just a plain logo; ideal for chilly lecture halls, late-night study sessions, or walking home from campus in the rain. It also makes an excellent “layer under a jacket” piece, which you'll definitely need to keep you warm in Scotland.

2. The University Backpack (£21.60)

Practical, essential, and underrated. You’ll need something reliable to lug around your laptop, textbooks, coffee, and umbrella. It won't win any awards for originality, but sometimes simple and effective is all you need for your daily grind (also, it comes in loads of different colours, so pick one that fits your style).

3. The University Beanie (£12.00)

Cold breeze off the Forth? Oh yes. Early morning starts? Definitely. A beanie is small, cheap, and hugely valuable. Toss one in your bag and you’re ready for inevitable wind, rain and cold throughout the colder months.

4. The Unisex HWU Joggers (£27.60)

Comfort in your room is key. These are perfect for lounging in your halls, doing sports, or when you want to skip jeans but still want to look tidy. Great for travel days, late-night library runs, or just walking across campus in style.

5. The University Mug (£14.40)

One of the first things you’ll want when your hands are shaking from caffeine withdrawals. Having your own mug means fewer trips up and down to the kitchen, less washing up mix-ups, and a nice touch of home on your desk. Bonus: it makes a perfect “I survived first week” gift to yourself.
