About Edinburgh Napier University

PROS

  • Edinburgh Napier University teaches numerous subject fields that consistently appear in the UK Top 5. These include Social Sciences, Music, Adult Nursing, and more.
  • The study rooms are open 24/7, and come equipped with enough computers and seating that users normally don’t have to worry about not having anywhere to work.
  • One of the most common sources of praise for this university is that the student population is highly diverse, which in particular helps foreign students to quickly feel at home after arrival.

CONS

  • For students who would like to enjoy the bars and nightlife after classes, the city centre is roughly 30 minutes away by bus.
  • International students are often surprised by the cost of living here. This is partly due to the conversion rates of the British Pound to other currencies, but Edinburgh is also one of the more expensive locations in Scotland.
