overall Edinburgh Napier was a positive experience and facilitated greatly In my nursing practice . The staff are all friendly and are willing to help in any way they can . The timetable can sometimes be disorganised at times however staff are quick to rectify this.
I want to be a specialist in the area of Biodiversity and conservation, that is where my passion is now.

Challenging but it's all part of the journey. Adapting to different teaching methods and curriculum is difficult but enriching.
