Hi All, hope everyone is coping well despite the ongoing pandemic (I hope it is ok to post this here, I have posted this quite a while ago and is just reposting this for the last time - happy for it to be removed if not. I hope this is ok though). I am a member of a large international survey project looking at the impact of COVID-19 on the entire population of countries, including people in the UK (and at Edinburgh Napier University)! The project involves almost 200 investigators in more than 35 countries and has been endorsed by multiple national and international professional organizations and ethical approval has also been obtained from the University of Southampton (for the UK side of the project). The COH-FIT project aims to identify risk and protective factors that will inform prevention and intervention programs for the COVID-19 pandemic and should other pandemics occur in the future. We are hoping if anyone is kind enough to spend just about 30mins on this survey - we will be so grateful to you. **There are questions concerning mental health which you may or may not find comfortable answering and so it is entirely up to you to decide regarding whether you want to participate**. The findings will be of huge importance in improving our understanding of the impact of the pandemic and how to cope with it.

Hi there. I have applied to these three unis to study the Bachelor of Music program. I am struggling to decide on which one to go to next year. I want to hear opinions on where its best to study music. My thoughts are that Napier ranks 1st in the course and it is in one of my favourite cities, Edinburgh. Aberdeen is the only Scottish city I have not been to, but the music course is ranked 2nd and the university itself is one of the top rankings and finally, the Royal Conservatoire is more focused on Drama/dance and Musical theatre and it happens to be near family in Glasgow. If you were to choose, which one would you go for. I would appreciate any feedback.

I have a few questions if so.

Apologies if this post does not belong here!

• Are you a woman who has experienced period poverty?
• Do you have a story to tell?
• Would you like to help make a difference for women like you around the country?

The Bloody Big Project, known as Bleedin' Saor is a student-led project at Edinburgh Napier University. We are creating a documentary to highlight and tackle period poverty and negative stigmas surrounding periods. This documentary is a chance for women to find their voice and bring attention to a very important issue.

If you think this is you, or someone else you know, then please send me a DM and tell me a little about yourself and your experience!

For more information on our project visit www.bleedinsaor.com or follow us on social media!

Let's help end period poverty together!

Hey guys! So, I'm finishing up my leaving cert (Ireland) and it has gone pretty well for me so far. I'm kinda excited to start games Dev at Napier and would love if anyone who did games Dev there to share their experience. /Edit Is it good? Like the course content or am I better of doing computing (BEng) and just go modeling and animating on my own?

I'm working on my UCAS application and I intend to apply for journalism at Sheffield University, Nottingham Trent, and City, University of London. However, that means I've got two spaces left. I want those two to be in Scotland and I've narrowed my choices down to the three mentioned in the title. However, I can't for the life of me decide on which two. I've done some reasearch and they're all three pretty good from what I can gather, but obviously they aren't the most well-renowned in Scotland (I mean in comparison to, for example, University of Edinburgh or St. Andrews).

So far, these are the conceptions I've formed: from what I understand, the journalism course in Sterling is one of the better ones in Scotland, but Sterling is apparently not the most comfortable or exciting place to live in Scotland. Then there is Edinburgh Napier, and although this one is tempting because of Edinburgh being a pretty nice city, I feel that this Uni basically lies in the shadow of its bigger brother, namely, the University of Edinburgh and that the ones who didn't get into Uni of Edinburgh just end up going to Napier instead. Additonally, I'm not sure about how good the journalism course here is. Finally, there is Robert Gordon in Aberdeen. Aberdeen seems to be a pretty nice city from what I can gather and I don't think I'd mind living there, but the thing is I'm not so sure on the journalism course they have there. Like I said, I've done some research and all of these three rank relatively highly among the journalism courses but its only on one ranking where Robert Gordon was the highest one of these three (The Guardian Uni Ranking for 2017) and on the other sites I looked at, it wasn't nearly as high up.

Anyway, these are just the conceptions I've gathered from my research. Please feel free to correct me on any misconceptions I might have and please give me advice on how to proceed.

((Admins, if this kind of post isn't cool, I apologise, pleas let me know and I'll take it down. I hope it'll be ok, it's a really important issue.))

Hullo all.

My name is Ellie, I am a trans woman, a second year student nurse at Edinburgh Napier university and the Royal College of Nursing's student representative for Scotland. A huge passion of mine is obviously improving healthcare provision, mental health support and self care opportunities for trans people in Scotland and the UK. I'm working on a project to introduce gender neutral bathrooms at each campus of my uni. There's "controversy" around this, for some people who don't quite understand what they are and why they're important.

Gender neutral bathrooms promote safety. They cut down on anxiety and social pressure. They cut down on violence, because people stand up to it. They cut down on vandalism, because there's less opportunity. They improve provision of service, ensuring there are more places for everyone to pee, to get changed and to feel safe.

Gender neutral bathrooms are not just about a place to pee. They are a place to be yourself. Where you can own your identity, come to terms and learn to accept yourself for who you are. In places like gyms and swimming pools, they give intersex, trans, and non binary people a place to change, without the crippling pressure of doing so around cis people. They send us a message. "You exist. You matter. You are welcome."

So why fit gender neutral bathrooms in schools, colleges and universities first? Because social change starts with education. Kids need protected from bigotry, not from trans people. Young people need freedom to explore, learn, and develop into culturally diverse and socially integrated people. Even mature students have lessons to learn when it comes to integration.

Acceptance is a choice. You choose to have a problem with those who are different from you. And you can choose not to.

I am campaigning at Napier right now, as the (hopefully!) incoming Equality and Diversity officer, to introduce gender neutral bathrooms on every campus. I will be taking this project nationally on the next year with my RCN work, to promote better self care and mental health among our student population.

A petition has been launched by a wonderful ally, linked below. We need help getting signatures, and the more we get, the bigger my mandate is to pressure the university to give us what we need.

Hello! I'm beginning my Master's in Conservation Biology in January and would love to meet some people who may end up being my classmates. I'm moving to Edinburgh from the States so I don't know any locals yet. :)
