Question

What kind of reputation does Napier University (Edinburgh) have overall? I'm foreign and planning on applying.

Answer 1

I went to both edinburgh and napier university.

Napier university was ok. nothing fantastic - I don't really think I left with any great understanding of the course (I did marketing msc). It was a polytechnic college up until 15 years ago - so not that well established. They have built a nice new building though and it was very nice. Lots of folk from overseas go there because it is a h**l of a lot cheaper than edinburgh university, which is the best uni in edinburgh. in my class there was only 4 scottish people, the rest were spanish, chinese, polish, greek and german. nice bunch though.

I would say to go for edinburgh uni if you can (if you really want to got to edinburgh - lovely city btw), Napier is pretty average in my opinion

Answer 2

never heard of it

Answer 3

I'm not sure about how other people perceive it, but I had a close friend spend a semester there last year, and she loved it. She was a political science/international relation student, and she enjoyed both the curriculum and the atmosphere. She's a picky person, and she didn't have many complaints.

Answer 4

well, as far as universities in edinburgh are concerned, The University of Edinburgh is generally considered to have the best reputation. However, Napier does have a good reputation. It depends on what course you're applying for tbh, Napier is highly recommended for it's journalism courses and business school.

As for edinburgh in general, it's a lovely city and you would have a great time. So beautiful and historic
