Study options
Everyone has different study habits, commitments and lifestyles, so we have a range of study options to suit you.
Full-time
Our full-time undergraduate courses last for four years to achieve an Honours degree. You’ll typically study:
- three modules in each of the first two trimesters of your first three years
- two modules and an Honours project in year four
Joint Honours
We offer a number of joint Honours degrees, allowing you to study two related subjects.
Advanced entry
If you have a Higher National Certificate (HNC) or Higher National Diploma (HND) you may be able to apply directly to year two or three of a degree course.
To find out if you're eligible for advanced entry visit the courses section of our website for our entry requirements or email studentrecruitment@napier.ac.uk for further information.
Part-time
You’ll study the same modules and complete the same coursework as a full-time student, but over a longer period of time. You’ll generally come in to Edinburgh Napier for one day a week. An Honours degree will take around six years to complete part-time.
Distance
Identical in content to a part-time course, this option replaces campus attendance with specially developed printed and online learning materials. You can study at your own pace, in your own time.
Blended
This part-time option combines online learning with attendance at the occasional seminar or workshop on campus. It’s ideal if you want to organise your own time, but remain part of the on-campus learning environment.
Local
Some courses are taught at colleges around Scotland, where you can enrol as an Edinburgh Napier student.
Whichever option you choose, you’ll have full access to all of our study resources and IT facilities:
We also provide support and advice before, during and after your studies to help you succeed.
Accreditations
Many of our courses are accredited by professional organisations, which means you'll get the right skills and experience for your future career.
