Information
About Edinburgh Napier University
Edinburgh Napier has a cluster of three campuses, located approximately three-and-a-half miles to the South-West of Edinburgh's city centre. The different campuses each have different styles of architecture and different feels to them. While the Sighthill Campus is filled with state-of-the-art buildings offering facilities such as a crime scenario room, the Merchiston Campus is built around the fifteenth-century Merchiston Castle.
Background and History
Edinburgh Napier was founded as Napier Technical College back in 1964, and attained university status in 1992. Napier is very much focused on providing vocational degrees, and is a teaching-led university with a fairly modest research output.Location and Accessibility
Road: The main campuses can be reached by following the A70 out of Edinburgh.
Rail: Edinburgh Napier's campuses are approximately three to four miles from Waverley, Edinburgh's main railway station, but the suburban Slateford and Kingsnowe stations are a much shorter walk from the campuses.
Disabled access: Edinburgh Napier keeps its profile on disabledgo.com updated (http://www.disabledgo.com/en/org/edinburgh-napier-university) so that students can get detailed, up-to-date information on disabled facilities for individual university buildings.

Academic Facilities
The university has invested close to £100 million pounds in recent years to improve its academic facilities across the board. For some subjects it has some of the most state-of-the-art facilities available, such as laboratories that can simulate high-altitude conditions. Integrating information technology into classrooms and lecture theatres has been a major part of the re-fit effort.Other on-site Amenities
Edinburgh Napier's main student bar can be found in the Cowgate, in a space above The Three Sisters bar. However,the multi-campus nature of Napier means that the university's social scene is a little unfocused.Medical and Social Care
The university doesn't have its own medical services, but it does offer a range of alternative therapy services to students, such as hypnotherapy and couples therapy. Edinburgh Napier Students' Association is the main facility for students seeking advice.
What's on in the Area
The immediate area around the Edinburgh Napier campuses is perhaps a little quiet and suburban, but the centre of Edinburgh has much to offer, whether you are looking for culture, shopping, food or nightlife. Glasgow is also less than an hour away fromEdinburgh by train for an additional bit of excitement.
Moving On
In addition to offering standard careers counselling, the university's Careers Service also provides an Employability Service that works with employers and recruiters to provide employment opportunities for students.Did you know?
