Edinburgh Napier University (reviews)

I like the way the classes are set out, it makes it really easy to follow & every lecturer so far has been very assisting and accommodating – only downside I would argue is the distance of my campus being a 45 minute bus

For my course, the resources are very good which allows me to have the best experience I can. It allows me to practically learn rather than all theory based which is important for my course. My lecturers and field leads are very supportive!

Being a ‘mature’ student returning to education, I have found the support offered by Napier second to none.

They really embody the student experience and work hard to better their support over a variety of streams. Each module has an informative breakdown of what to expect, in addition to a course overall that details what is expected of you (the student).

Some module leaders post weekly announcements on Moodle, detailing updates that help you visualise where the module is heading. There’s no trickery in the teaching and it really does feel like all the teaching staff have your best interest in mind.

Merchiston campus has a great location in the city and the courses have good facilities to cater to students. But staff have been poor in communicating changes to the course and organising deadlines between year groups and modules to ensure facilities aren’t too in-demand all at once – sometimes it feels like a pot luck as to whether you actually get to use the facilities offered which can be very stressful.

After having attended three different universities, I must say, Edinburgh Napier University provided me with the best experience. The lecturer were open and friendly and provided an environment with allowed me to thrive. If I get the options to undertake a Phd I now know we’re I’d like to do that.

Teachers are well learned. They teach very well. Craiglockhart campus is very nice. They have some facilities to have lunch in or for having a coffee. It has 2 lectures rooms and some tutorial classes. to conclude, napier is a good university

While studying at Edinburgh Napier University I came across many wonderful things that would make me encourage others to go there. Firstly, the all inclusive nature of the Merchiston campus meant you encountered people from all walks of life on a day to day basis. Combining that with superb lectures meant that every day was a unique experience regardless of your field of study. Furthermore, my time at university was halved with Covid with teachers and pupils alike having to adjust to more stringent measures. My lectures made each student was accounted and cared for while taking part in our online lessons which is something I greatly appreciated given my more reserved nature. One criticism I would give is the lack of on-campus parking but hey, if you just walk everywhere you’ll be fine! Overall, I’d recommend any student to Napier University and I really wish I could relive my wonderful years there.

Course very well organised, Great communication between staff and students, Resources very accessible, Lots of societies to welcome you in, news letters sent out to students to keep us informed and up to date
