Edinburgh Napier University

Helping people get the careers they love is what we do. Yes, we’ll teach you the vital theories and facts. But we know that’s not enough to succeed. The future holds jobs and opportunities we can’t even imagine right now. You will have to be entrepreneurial, adaptable and resilient.

We help give you those skills by surrounding you with expert academics with plenty of industry contacts and experience. This is why so many students choose to study with us:  

• 95% of our graduates are in work or further education within six months of graduating (HESA 2016/17).
• 97% of our undergraduate students have the opportunity to undertake a work-related experience as part of their course (2017/18).
• Located in Scotland's capital city, Edinburgh is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and home to the world’s largest arts festival. Edinburgh is a buzzing, multicultural city, yet feels small, welcoming, safe and perfect for undergraduate life. Read more about Edinburgh.
• Industry –led learning and lecturers with strong links to business.
• Careers advisors and mentors to help give you a head start when you graduate.
