Merchiston
Located in the lively Bruntsfield area, University's Merchiston Campus is a unique blend of the past and present with their modern, award-winning 500-seat computing centre alongside the thirteenth century Napier tower. Merchiston is home to the Faculty of Engineering & Computing and School of Design & Media Arts.

A fabulous set of Grade A listed buildings in the charming locale of Morningside. Craighouse Campus, set in serene woodlands, is home to Music, Communication Arts and the Social Sciences making it the principal base for the Faculty of Arts & Social Science.

Craiglockhart
The newly redeveloped Craiglockhart Campus has been refurbished and transformed – it now combines ultra-modern architecture with historic B listed buildings. Facilities include 200 and 400-seater lecture theatres and digital language labs. Craiglockhart is the home of Napier University Business School.

Canaan Lane and Comely Bank
The Canaan Lane Campus is situated within the grounds of the Astley Ainslie Hospital in Morningside. Home to the Faculty of Health & Life Sciences, it’s a pleasant, modern and well-equipped, purpose-built site. In addition to Canaan Lane is the Comely Bank Campus in the north of the city, an additional base for the Faculty of Health & Life Sciences.

Each campus has its own unique culture and sense of community combined with the benefits of a large, modern university. Napier also have smaller campuses in Marchmont (Faculty of Arts & Social Science) and out with the city in Livingston and Melrose (Faculty of Health & Life Sciences). 

The University provides extensive computing facilities supported by the Computer Services Unit. Each student is assigned a personal e-mail account. University libraries are located at each of the major sites. Computerised facilities for reserving, searching, etc. are available. Computer facilities and a Reading Room are open 24-hours a day at the Craig Lockhart campus.

Sports facilities are mainly located at the Sports Centre, Sight hill Campus. In addition, a swimming pool, outdoor tennis/basketball and football pitch are located at Craig Lockhart Campus.

As one would expect from the city which hosts the world's largest international arts festival, Edinburgh offers numerous cinemas, theatres, restaurants and bars, as well as shops catering for international speciality foods.

Accommodation
Finding a safe and suitable place to live is extremely important, particularly if you are new to Edinburgh.

The university offers assistance to international students in order to help them find the right accommodation and settle in. You can choose between living in University owned flats or in private sector accommodation.

University accommodation can be guaranteed if the application and deposit payment are received before the third week in August prior to the start of your course.

Please note that Napier regret that University accommodation is not available to students starting their programme of study in February. However, Student Accommodation will be able to assist and advise students on seeking private sector accommodation.

Living in University flats is a great way to get to know other students when you first come to Edinburgh. However, if you choose not to live in their accommodation, you will find a wide range of alternative accommodation in the city. Staff in Student Accommodation will be able to assist you.

The Student Accommodation Department exists as a service to help all students establish a ‘home from home’ where you can study and live while you are at Napier. Napier University is committed to providing student with a first class information and advice service on all matters concerning residential accommodation.
