Criminology in Scotland

Okay, I need help! I'm an EU students and I'm planning to go to the university in Scotland to study Criminology/Criminal Psichology. It seems to me that basically only in Edinburgh there's a course for Criminology, while in Glasgow you can only get something like Social Sciences.
So my question is, how hard is it to be accepted at Edinburgh Napier? I don't want to apply only to that university to find out I won't be able to go there and lose all my chances of studying in Scotland! What do you suggest me to do? Sorry if I look stupid and confused, it's that I'm really scared about my future and the anxiety is starting to eat me alive!!

Just so you know, Edinburgh Rapier isn't the proper "University of Edinburgh", which is much more comparable to Glasgow.

I'm looking to do criminology in Scotland, since I live here. They do criminological studies in University of Abertay in Dundee. They also do criminology combined with sociology, law, politics or philosophy in the University of Stirling. And of course there's Edinburgh Napier University in Edinburgh.

Out of them all, I'd say Napier would be the easiest to get into. And from what I have heard from all the open days I have been to, the course at Napier is the one focused towards criminology more - the others have a lot more sociology involved.

If I were you I'd apply to Abertay and Stirling as well just to be on the safe side! :smile:

Thank you, this helped me a lot! I already had the idea of applying to Stirling and Abertay because I don't want to miss any of the possibilities I'm offered, I just have to cross my fingers! (:

Hiya, anybody starting criminology at Napier on the 10th? So far I've not seen anyone else that is! I know nobody going to the campus and I've never even been there, so the first day is truly going to be an adventure for me haha!
