Sort:Latest reviewsIt's very focused on it's programmes and wants to get the best out of people and give them skills they need to succeed in their chosen profession. However, when initially starting, staff could be more present and offer better support for struggling students, especially in regards to paperwork and necessary tasks required for your programme.
Best aspects: The best part of my university experience has been the supportive lecturers and friendly learning environment. The diverse student community makes studying more interesting, and the facilities like the library and online platforms are very helpful. It’s a great place to study because it encourages independent thinking and personal growth. Areas for improvement: Communication about timetables and deadlines could be clearer, and spreading out assignment deadlines more evenly would reduce pressure. More practical workshops and industry-related opportunities would also improve the overall experience.
The location is a bit far from the city centre, so depending on where you live, you might have to get multiple buses to get to campus. Student support and lecture quality are good.
Yes, This is a great place to study. But lack of students collaborations.
My university experience has been a real mix of highs and lows, but overall it’s been incredibly rewarding. The best aspect has definitely been the sense of independence and personal growth. Uni pushed me out of my comfort zone — academically and socially — and helped me become more confident, organised, and self-motivated. I’ve loved having access to passionate lecturers, diverse modules, and facilities that support both learning and wellbeing. Meeting people from different backgrounds has also been a huge highlight; it’s broadened my perspective and led to friendships I’ll value long after graduating. That said, uni hasn’t been perfect. One of the worst aspects has been the pressure around deadlines and exams, which can sometimes feel overwhelming, especially when multiple assessments pile up at once. Communication between departments could also be improved — clearer guidance and more consistent feedback would really help students feel supported. At times, mental health support felt stretched, and accessing help could be slow when demand was high. Overall, what makes uni a great place to study is the balance of academic challenge and personal development. With better workload planning, clearer communication, and expanded student support services, the experience could be even stronger and more inclusive for everyone.
Staff and pupils are great overall facilities are ok no complaints but could be a little better more comfort areas/ lounges and greater study accomodation and cantine is way too expensive
Choosing a university is one of the most important decisions in a person’s life. It shapes not only academic knowledge but also personal growth, career direction, and lifelong friendships. Looking back at my time at university, I can confidently say it has been a largely positive experience. There have been challenges, as there are in any institution, but the strengths of the university far outweigh the weaknesses. In this review, I will discuss the best aspects of my university experience, including the excellent library facilities, supportive university staff, dedicated teachers, and strong student support systems. I will also highlight an area for improvement — specifically, the issue of the JKCC building being cold during nighttime at the Merchiston campus. Finally, I will provide top tips and suggestions for further improvement. Overall, the university is a great place to study, grow, and prepare for the future.

They give us scholarship just in 1st year and we are shock when we listen that there is no scholarship in the next years. This is very difficult for our parents to manage this fee because the university doest not provide information about the further years fee.

The International student support at Edinburgh Napier University is inclusive as they understand the practicalities of being a university with diverse nationalities. The personal touch to details and the professionalism that comes with understanding the peculiarities of each student is a skill that resonates with most students that come from my region. To further improve this process, Edinburgh Napier University can assist with liaising with the Home Office regarding any student issues recorded especially with visa delays and interviews.
My LLB was fully taught in-class and I fully engaged in the tutorial which made understanding and assimilation of all the lengthy law journals and texts easy. The efficient access of the lecturers made the course extremely interesting to attend and successfully graduate from. The worst aspect of my course, I cannot think of any as I quite enjoyed every bit of the Law exploration at Edinburgh Napier University.
Everything of the location to the security and access to amenities were top notch. Bainfield accommodation, located centrally on Fountainbridge and within 10 minutes walk to Princes street and closer to my campus is all a student's dream. I saved on transport and I had support from the accommodation team. The student prayer rooms were available and there was respect for every space.
