Edinburgh Napier Welcome Week 2026 will take place from Saturday 5 September through until Sunday 13 September. Every year, Edinburgh Napier Students' Association (ENSA) organises this week for Napier students to help you make new friends, explore the city, and settle into student life.
It's not just for first years - if you're a returning student, mature student, postgrad or under 18 - there is something for everyone! Whether you enjoy partying, exploring or relaxing with a chilled activity, we've got you covered!
More details will be coming over the summer. Keep an eye out for tickets going on sale at the start of August.
Beware of imitations!
Please be aware that there are groups on social media selling what they claim to be "Edinburgh Napier Freshers wristbands" or "Freshers Parties" on sites like fatsoma or eventsbrite. However, these are run by promoters who have no official link to either ENSA or the University, and we cannot vouch for their quality.
Some may even be scams, so please exercise caution when purchasing and stick to the official ENSA and Edinburgh Napier University channels for your Welcome Week info.
Be wary of any "chat groups" that are trying to convince you to buy tickets (e.g. on Whatsapp, or Facebook Groups). Anyone selling "Freshers" tickets is not selling them on behalf of the University or the Students' Association - we do not use the "Freshers" branding for our events.
If you have any doubts, please contact ensa@napier.ac.uk.
