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.
ÂBackground 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.
