Edinburgh Napier University
One of the largest higher education institutions in Scotland, Edinburgh Napier University has recently celebrated its 50th Anniversary. Established in 1964 as Napier Technical College, and becoming a University in 1992, the University has been expanding steadily throughout the city and is in the process of investing £100m to provide some of Scotland's best teaching and research facilities.
The University has recently changed its structure from having three overarching faculties to having six schools, offering more flexibility in its courses and more focused learning.
Tuition fees vary between schools and type of course. Fees will also alter depending on whether you are an International student, and there are numerous bursaries and scholarships that you can apply for. Scottish students will not have to pay any tuition fees.
With six campuses around the city, the University is uniquely suited to give students a wide range of experience living in Edinburgh. With various facilities in each campus, you will be travelling around and soaking up the city throughout your studies.
All of the university accommodation is self catered and located in the centre of Edinburgh, with good transport links to all campuses. All first year undergraduates are guaranteed accommodation, granted they meet the allocation criteria. For more information, please check the universities website.
Open days at Edinburgh Napier University are a great opportunity to visit the campuses, learn about the university, tour accommodation and ask about life at the university. The program covers the ins and outs of the UCAS process, how to adjust from college, and answers any questions parents and guardians have about going to university.
