Become a Programme Rep
Looking for a way to boost your skills and experience while on your course? A great way of doing this is by become a Programme Rep. It only takes a few hours per month, and involves gathering feedback from fellow students on your course and raising any issues with the teaching staff on your programme.
You will get official recognition on your University transcript and can help to win improvements for your class! Your Programme Leader should be asking for volunteers, so let them know if you are interested.

Student Council
Another opportunity to gain additional experience and impress future employers is by joining our Student Council. This is our primary discussion forum, and where students from across all campuses come together to raise issues, suggest improvements and help ENSA to form policies and strategies.
If you are interested, come along to our first meeting on Wednesday 22 October at 1/06 Craiglockhart Campus. You can also join on MS Teams if you can’t make it in person.

Events Partners
While we don’t have a social space of our own, we do have partnerships with our friends at Edinburgh University Students’ Association (EUSA) and The Three Sisters to give you venues to hang out in after classes. Both have lots of events happening, and Edinburgh Napier students are invited to join in the fun! Their venues are also available for our students to hire for private events or socials.
Edinburgh Napier students also get £2 off entry to Wired at Cabaret Voltaire every Wednesday, and if you’re part of a club or society, tell them on entry and £1 will go towards your club/society funds.
