Culture Through Language Studies

Yesterday was a very informative day as Nikki, Kimberly and Kirsty from Streetwork very kindly came to Edinburgh Napier University, Craiglockhart Campus to speak to the students from the City University of Hong Kong about how they work with the homeless in Edinburgh in different ways. We even got to see the Hub, in the city centre, where people can go for all sorts of assistance such as showers and washing machines and first aid. The students found it very enlightening to see how Edinburgh supports its homeless citizens. #Streetwork #helpthehomeless #Edinburgh #internationalstudents #culturalimmersion

It was an honour to be led around ScottishPower Whitelee Windfarm last weekend,the U.K.'s largest! The engineering students from City University of Hong Kong were also surprised to learn that the wind farm was almost as large as Hong Kong itself! Not only does the wind farm help supply electricity to Scotland's 70% renewable energy grid, it's also a nature reserve helping to protect ground nesting birds such as the capercaille among other animals considered to be at risk. A wonderful learning experience! #thefutureisgreen #WhiteleeWindFarm #internationalstudents #windpower #sustainableenergy #EdinburghNapierUniversity

Last Saturday, students from the City University of Hong Kong had the joy of travelling to Glasgow. Here we visited the The National Piping Centre and learned all about the Scottish and international history of bagpipes - and even had a go ourselves! A little out of breath, we also managed a short trip through the city centre to #GeorgeSquare, where the students had time to relax, enjoy the sunshine, and take even more photos! #travel #internationalstudents #PeopleMakeGlasgow

Last week, students from the City University of Hong Kong enjoyed a day in the sun exploring and learning about our beautiful capital as part of the Cultural and Immersion Scheme at #EdinburghNapierUniversity. A few steep hills and a couple (hundred) stairs later, the city orientation tour ended at #EdinburghCastle with many perfect photo opportunities! #culture #internationalstudents #partneruniversities #VisitScotland

Thanks to everyone who joined us for our evening of Scottish storytelling, music and food last week! We're sad to say goodbye to everyone but wish you all the best going forwards - keep in touch!

Thank you, Andrea, for these fabulous photos from the end of course trip on Friday. We're going to miss you all but don't forget there's another chance for you to say goodbye to us at the end of course party on Thursday!

Did you know that anybody can go to the Scottish parliament to watch meetings? Some of our pre-sessional students stopped outside the parliament on Friday during their walking tour of the city.

A warm welcome to all students joining us for the 6 week summer pre-sessional!

We made the most out of the sunshine yesterday to have a walking tour of Edinburgh's beautiful Old Town, stopping at Greyfriar's Bobby, the Grassmarket and the Royal Mile - where Sadam can be seen jumping for joy!

Are you looking forward to Conversation Club tomorrow?

A huge welcome to our first group of pre-sessional students this summer. We're looking forward to getting to know you! Fingers crossed that we have some sunshine for our next social activity...
