What students say about criminal-psychology

I feel that I have still learned a lot, but many of the assessments have been changed from practice assessments to essays or tests. I just can’t wait to be on campus because I know it will be so much better. I can’t give a proper opinion until I see what everything is like for myself

What students say about criminal-psychology

The staff are great! They are always there for support and I never feel like I do not have someone to approach when struggling. Having a personal tutor is so beneficial as well, as you always have them to talk to whether it be about your studies, personal matters or career paths! I also love that it is all one campus so no need to run between building to building making it to classes as they all link in some way. The student wellbeing service is also a great support system in place, the counselling service is extremely helpful and an amazing thing to have built into the university.

What students say about criminal-psychology

Edinburgh Napier University is a great place to study. It is a top pick university for me because it has top professors and knowledgeable lecturers handing the curriculum. The lectures are also very patient and approachable, and they take their time to ensure your queries are answered correctly when you have any. The University mobile application is quite user friendly and it is well maintained to prevent downtimes. The student e-learning platform, moodle is very user friendly and detailed, making it easy to use for first time students like me from a country where the educational system and school experience is quite different. The libraries are well designed and boast of a good range of books and access to computer systems for research. The libraries also have laptops that students can borrow for assignments and research purposes when needed. Napier University has some of the most well equipped laboratories I have seen and the staff follow standard procedures to ensure students safety while conducting experiments. The university common areas and convenience areas are also well maintained at all times, making for a great over all experience. While the general experience is great, the following could be improved; - The speed of student ID card production could be increased, to make the cards available for first time students who need this as a means of identification to purchase bus passes and cards at student friendly rates. - Access to the library entrance doors at late hours should not be restricted only to students with a physical ID card, as this possesses a problem for new students waiting to get their ID cards. - A cash payment option can be included for food and beverage purchases on campus. This would increase payment options available to students, especially new students navigating the e-payment system in Edinburgh.
