History

Napier Technical College&nbsp;was founded in 1964, taking its name from&nbsp;John Napier, who was born in 1550 in the medieval tower house of&nbsp;Merchiston Castle&nbsp;(the site of the University&#39;s Merchiston campus). His statue stands in the tower of&nbsp;Merchiston Castle&nbsp;today. An opening ceremony was held on 23 February 1965.In 1966, it was renamed&nbsp;Napier College of Science and Technology. In 1974, it merged with the Sighthill-based&nbsp;Edinburgh College of Commerce&nbsp;to form&nbsp;Napier College of Commerce and Technology, which became a&nbsp;Central Institution&nbsp;in 1985.

In June 1992, the institution officially became&nbsp;Napier University. At a ceremony witnessed by over 700 staff and students,&nbsp;Lord James Douglas Hamilton&nbsp;and the then Principal, William Turmeau, unveiled the new University sign at Merchiston. In 1994, Napier University acquired its&nbsp;Craighouse Campus. In 1996, the university gained a new Faculty of Health Studies through a merger between the Scottish Borders College of Nursing and Lothian College of Health Studies. In February 2009, it became Edinburgh Napier University

Internships

One year placement

The one year work placement takes place during the third year of the undergraduate degree programme, and is an excellent opportunity to apply the skills and knowledge gained in the first two years of the course to practical problems in a real-world context.

Part-time placement&nbsp;

In third year students have the option of selecting a placement module which involves working p/t with a client on a project as part of their degree. Students have worked in the past with start-up companies, community groups and local charities.&nbsp;

Summer placement&nbsp;

Students are supported in finding a work placement over summer to develop skills and to gain an insight to the industry they are about to enter.&nbsp;

Placements

Like most of Scotland, Edinburgh has a cool,&nbsp;temperate,&nbsp;maritime climate&nbsp;which, despite its northerly latitude, is milder than places which lie at similar latitudes such as&nbsp;Moscow&nbsp;and&nbsp;Labrador&nbsp;The city&#39;s proximity to the sea mitigates any large variations in temperature or extremes of climate. Winter daytime temperatures rarely fall below freezing while summer temperatures are moderate, rarely exceeding 22&nbsp;&deg;C (72&nbsp;&deg;F).&nbsp;The highest temperature recorded in the city was 31.6&nbsp;&deg;C (88.9&nbsp;&deg;F) on 25 July 2019&nbsp;at Gogarbank, beating the previous record of 31&nbsp;&deg;C (88&nbsp;&deg;F) on 4 August 1975 at Edinburgh Airport.&nbsp;The lowest temperature recorded in recent years was &minus;14.6&nbsp;&deg;C (5.7&nbsp;&deg;F) during December 2010 at Gogarbank.
