Edinburgh Napier University Academic and Research mentoring scheme

We are Edinburgh Napier University, the #1 modern university in Scotland (Times Higher Education World University Rankings 2023), the #1 university in Edinburgh for student satisfaction (NSS 2020, 2021 & 2022), a top 10 UK modern university (Times/Sunday Times Good University Guide 2023). With more than 300 undergraduate and postgraduate courses and nearly 20,000 students from over 140 countries studying on campus in Edinburgh, online and at partner universities worldwide, we deliver meaningful, difference-making education and research for a rapidly changing world. As an organisation we are committed to the career development of our staff members and our Research, Innovation and Enterprise team have a strong track record in running a diverse researcher development programme to achieve this. As a signatory to the Concordat to Support Career development of researchers we have identified mentoring as a key approach to supporting our researchers in their career and personal development.
