These are just a few of the host of student-led groups available at Edinburgh Napier, which help make student life so fun, memorable, and satisfying.
The university is filled with students from every corner of Europe and the globe. Despite the rain, I never even bought a bus pass because I enjoyed walking into charming areas to explore in the Scottish capital.

Edinburgh: A great place to live and study
The university is based in the ‘Best City in the UK’ (2014 Daily Telegraph Travel Awards), the fourth most beautiful city in the world (Rough Guide 2015), and the capital city of Scotland. Edinburgh is a safe and compact city, making it easy to get around either on foot or by using the city’s excellent transport links. With an array of restaurants, shops, museums, galleries, theatres, gardens and parks, and home to the world’s biggest arts festival, there is always something new to explore.

If students want to earn money while studying, the part-time job opportunities are varied and almost endless.
Students, no matter where they come from, are really proud to call Edinburgh Napier their home.
