Sort:Latest reviewsI am having a good experience at Edinburgh Napier University! I am enjoying both the social aspect and the academic. I would recommend taking out your student loan because if you have to work too much to earn money, your studies will suffer.
My main advice would be prepare to lectures that way you get the most out of them. I would encourage doing as much reading as possible, it is easy to let this aspect slip and you do need to do it! But most importantly - Have Fun!
I have really enjoyed my course, the staff are very friendly and approachable. The uni has put on lots of extra classes which are great and well worth going to. Courses like CV workshops and literature searching workshops. I would definitely recommend nursing at Edinburgh Napier.
I would say that there are some awesome people here but one bit of advice is to know exactly what you are planning to do before coming here so you are well prepared and can get the most out of your experience.
Napier is the only local university to offer Civil Engineering on a part-time basis. I completed my studies while working full time as a site engineer and was supported by both my employer and lecturers at Napier.
The best advice I would give is to get involved in a sports team and meet people from different degrees and year groups. Without this my university experience would have been completely different and not the same.
I am enjoying my experience at Napier University. My advice would be to plan your time and read widely to give yourself the best chance of passing exams and getting a good degree. The facilities and lectures are very good on my course.
We need card machines, there is no way to get cash on campus. Also the prices could be more affordable for students. I am enjoying my course though and also living in Edinburgh is brilliant! I have met great friends.
Well Napier isn't much to look at but it is not a bad university. Interesting projects occaisionally Met some great people. Course is interesting. Go for it!
Great city, Edinburgh is the best choice. Good experience so far, let's see what happens after this year. English and film double is a great take.
The Uni is not perfect but overall the city life and the lectures are enjoyable.I hope I will have good job prospects and be successful in future.Think about what you want to study before you come here.
Good use of modern literature. Edinburgh is awesome, and the campus is really close to the city center, and all around the city. Student union poor effort put into it.
many internationals around. Good to hang around people from the same nationality. We are very lucky as edinburgh is a place whenre international kids like to come to study. Napier is a good university, but course can be developed. Journalism is part of a life, need to be loved to take it in as a uni course.
Come with a good can do attiture and ye'll do just fine. Don't compromise too much. Edinburgh is stunning. Also wouldn't mind a swimming pool for Napier.
I was expecting a lot more from my course. I am also bored with life in the city.. It's just not great.. I wouldn't go to Napier now that I have felt the experience for my own.
I would say this university deffinetly stands up to its name. Standards here are maintained high to ensure the best performance on behalf of students. I have had the pleasure of studying here for 4 years and I must say it has been an absolute delight. If you are going to University you should be up to the task.
Happy to be part of the sport society. Joining clubs rhelps gaining friends and making your university experience, by joing you to a group of people. Lectures a re poor, and course is poor.
every tutor is very dedicated to their subject and they share their passion with us!Because of this I feel as if I'm learning more and makes the course enjoyable!

Only apply here is you intend on studying a degree like Law or engineering et. From what I have been told there are a lot of poor courses provided by Napier like sports science. Most lecturers are ok, some terrible. Societies are poor, not well advertised. Student president does nothing for the university.
