Scottish University represented in Malta

Napier University of Edinburgh, Scotland, is now represented in Malta through Future Focus Ltd.

Napier University is named after the famous 16th century mathematician and inventor of logarithms, John Napier, and was founded in 1964, achieving University status in 1992. In three decades, it has progressed from a first-class polytechnic to a major Scottish university with a growing international profile.

With a population of over 13,500 students, Napier is one of Scotland's largest universities and prides itself on being a vibrant and innovative learning environment offering a diverse range of career oriented programmes.

Napier University is a multi-campus university with four main sites in the city of Edinburgh: Craiglockhart, Merchiston, Craighouse and Canaan Lane. Each campus has its own unique culture and sense of community, while benefiting from being part of a large modern university. Each comprises buildings from the 16th century through to the 21st century, reflecting our profile as a modern, forward-looking university grounded in our local community.

Craiglockhart Campus has recently been redeveloped and is now home to the new £20 million Business School, housing state-of-the-art facilities.

Future Focus Malta provides vocational training in a wide variety of subjects. These include tourism and travel agency management, hotel operations, catering, advertising and public relations, communications, sales management and marketing, insurance, modern management, human resource management, finance (accounts, economics, banking) and child care.

Future Focus is based in Malta and attracts students from Malta and other EU and non-EU countries. The students' aim is to obtain internationally recognised qualifications after having attained the required standards and passing the set examinations.

Language training is also offered by Future Focus. Students range from 16-year-olds to chief executives and directors who are interested in individual training arrangements, studying English, French, Italian or German.

Future Focus has partners in many countries. It is an affiliate of Cambridge International College and also prepares students for the examinations of this college. It also has German, French, Italian and Spanish partners.

The collaboration between Future Focus and Napier University will start with the insurance pathway, a BA (Hons) Degree in Financial Services, a programme for insurance practitioners with an ACII or an FCII qualification.
