Love the look of the campus, being able to meet friends and study together. Love the library and the ability to drink coffee anywhere anytime. The courses seem to cater to everybody too much, it is essentially impossible to fail so it is also unlikely to be challenged in any course.
Support from staff is amazing but more plugs to charge computer would be good

The university is nice and modern with great study space and facilities. Good prices of food and drink at the campus, also free breakfast option and other pop ups organised for students. The localisation is a bit far, so it could be improved by creating a space for students to rest as always all sofas are busy so a chill out room would be great. Also extra study rooms would be great.
Excellent environment and the incredible amount of student support I never thought it was going to be this easy
The student environment is great. Easy to find friends and plenty of societies.
Great for tech skills and plenty of support. Some lecturers can be annoying
The course is amazing! Something you can’t get elsewhere in Scotland. Our lectures are passionate and inspiring to our learning. The on campus feel is really modern with loads of technology available to students. Compared to some other universities the transport links are somewhat hit and miss with a lack of buses on some routes that serve the main train stations and city centre.
the university experiences that I have is a good friend and the interesting course. the place that i have study is good environment and so convenient to go.
A really helpful team of staff, facilities need a major revamp
The best part has unique workshops to work in, the worst part is that studios are cold and poorly equipped for design studies. Napier has recruited some incredible lecturers from which we are learning a lot and also implemented the role of 2 grad assistants to help us all with uni work and queries. The location of the university, in Merchiston, is a bit hard to reach as there are no bus connections that bring us here from West Edinburgh. You still have to walk a lot once you get off the bus.
The staff are amazing, very supportive and helpful.

This is the closest university to where I live (as a mature student) which offered the course I wished to study and the placement areas I wanted to access. Many of the tutors are highly skilled and approachable. They make the learning worthwhile.
Central location, multiple campuses, lecturers very helpful. Only has a gym in one campus and not my main one

Depending on your course the location of the campus can be amazing! The Merchiston campus is only a 5-10 minute walk from the Bainfield accommodation, however if you're on certain courses (such as Psychology like myself) you are on the Sighthill campus which is a but further out of the way, which is not as ideal
Great campus with easy transport links, useful 24 hour library and most professors are more than willing to help or offer support on course content and assignments. Deadlines are quite tight and student life is a bit diminished if you do not drink.

More plugs in the espresso lab area and in the classes. The staff is very helpful and nice, love the activities organised by the course.
Certain courses were just unnecessarily long forr the content. In addition, for certain modules such as strategy it should be necessary to have more practical scenarios such as create a strategy instead of only analysing a company
Everything okay
