TU UK-Direct Edinburgh Napier University
Edinburgh Napier University is located in Edinburgh - Scotland's capital and one of the UK’s most student-friendly
cities. Participants studying at Edinburgh Napier University through the TU UK-Direct program will have the opportunity to further their studies while experiencing the extensive culture Edinburgh has to offer.
Edinburgh Napier is a modern and vibrant university that offers over
125 undergraduate and 75 postgraduate degree programs. The traditional four-year Scottish degree structure offers more flexibility in choosing classes than at universities in the rest of the UK. The university is renowned for its friendly environment and offers excellent support services for international students, including airport meet
and greet, first week activities and an International Students’ Club. In 2009 Edinburgh Napier was ranked Scotland’s Number One Modern University by the Guardian University Guide.
Edinburgh is a city that blends the ancient with the modern. Cobbled streets and medieval backdrops merge with new developments like the Parliament Building. If you prefer open spaces, around 50% of Edinburgh is parkland. The city is home to around 100,000
students. Four universities
and three colleges in the city make it a
hub of student activity and the base of new experiences. From art galleries to hip-hop clubs, from the beaches to the castles and from your local chip shop to flamboyant tapas restaurants, you’re spoilt for choice.
Edinburgh is home to the annual Edinburgh Festival (a world renowned month-long
celebration of arts and performances), the Film Festival, the Military Tattoo and is the seat of Scottish Parliament. The city's various comedy clubs and over 50
cinema screens showing everything from European Film Noir to
the latest blockbusters are also popular. The Scottish Ballet and Scottish
Opera are frequent visitors and music lovers will be able
to choose from a huge range of events from classical concerts
to big name bands. A wide range of the public galleries and
museums offer free entry to many of the collections.
