DESCRIPTION
Built around the historic 16th-century birthplace and home of our very own John Napier, Merchiston campus is home to our creative, computing and engineering students. Situated in the buzzing neighbourhood of Bruntsfield, independent cafes, restaurants and shops are just around the corner.
Our Merchiston campus is situated in the heart of Edinburgh and is home to three schools:
- The School of Arts & Creative Industries (https://www.napier.ac.uk/about-us/our-schools/school-of-arts-and-creative-industries)
- The School of Computing (https://www.napier.ac.uk/about-us/our-schools/school-of-computing)
- The School of Engineering & the Built Environment (https://www.napier.ac.uk/about-us/our-schools/school-of-engineering-and-the-built-environment)
This mix of disciplines helps create an inspiring, innovative and collaborative atmosphere. This is enhanced by facilities from cutting-edge cyber security labs to TV and film studios. In addition, Merchiston boasts a business incubator, two cafes and a 500-seat computing centre, with both Mac and PC hardware, that is open round-the-clock in Trimesters 1 and 2.
Merchiston is also home to the Edinburgh Napier Students' Association https://www.napierstudents.com. We also have rehearsal and performance spaces in a converted church just around the corner in nearby Morningside.
