Official Edinburgh Napier University 2023 Applicant Thread

I just got an email for when the offer holder day is but can’t find what time I should get there for does anyone know?

Would suggest that you contact Napier university and ask them for further information about the time you need to attend as you have not got it within your email notifications.

Which course is it for......
Usually if it's nursing courses you'll be asked to attend from about 9am but I would still check with them about the time for your particular course you are doing okay.

Thank you, I’ve sent an email to them asking as I’ve applied for International Tourism Management. I reckon I will get an email in the coming weeks telling me the time it starts however I live over 5 hours away so I just needed to know a bit in advance.

Just had my interview for napier and got an offer! i’ve applied to photography ba, and i’m currently doing creative media production! interview was so easy and the lecturer was very understanding of my nerves ❤️

Don't know if I can be useful for any potential students looking at doing midwifery at Napier university as ex student midwife......

Hi, I'm hoping to maybe go into midwifery next year but all I'm seeing online are people talking about how they hate their job and I'm nervous about applying now. What's your experience been like, if you don't mind?

Hi Connie 😊😊

That's great news that you want to do midwifery next year as you'll be doing a fantastic job as a midwife.
There's nothing to be nervous about applying for midwifery as believe me you'll be fine, I have found that the younger students ( 17/18 - 24 age groups) struggle more because they are only interested in going out on the town and getting drunk and then turn up for there lectures or placement under the website which you can't do. You'll find the older people are more mature and capable of doing this degree lots better than younger ones.

I was a mature student myself when I did my midwifery degree ( started it in 2016 and qualified in 2019) and it was great.
I will be honest with you at first I couldn't cope with the placement at first because I was trying to juggle a part-time job and do three 12.5 hours shifts each week, I did eventually got everything sorted out and afterwards I didn't look back.
You have to be committed with doing the midwife degree first and foremost and then fit in any part-time job you want to do.
You'll get use to doing the long hours shifts as you do each one as you have to let your body adjust to working when you are use to doing something else especially Nightshift and weekends.
I did find the lecturer and staff at Napier Very good and was approachable and answered any questions.

Just remember that everyone has there own opinion about nursing courses just because they weren't expecting to work long hours shifts or Nightshift and weekends when they were use to doing other stuff which takes them by surprise especially early starts.
Where are you planning to go for your midwifery degree.

Hello! Thanks for getting back to me, I didn't have notifications on for the app so I didn't realised you'd replied already sorry. This is my second year out of school and I've just been working since I left, I'm currently used to working 11 hour shifts at my job with 30 minute breaks so 12.5 shouldn't be a huge shock to the system tbh. I'm hoping to study in Scotland just to avoid tuition fees, so either Edinburgh Napier, Robert Gordon, or UWS, I also live in Paisley so I'm dithering on whether or not it's wise to move away or live at home and save up some money.
