Abstract In this talk we argue that a certain class of heterotic orbifolds can be the underlying fundamental theory for recently studied field theory GUTs. In addition we demonstrate that symmetric heterotic ℤ 2 × ℤ 2 orbifolds can give rise to three generation models if quantised Wilson lines are switched on.
