Please note that memberships for academic session 2025/26 will go on sale around late August.
ENSA has a wide range of societies that you can join if you are an Edinburgh Napier University student. All of these societies are a great way to socialise and make friends who share your interests.
How to Join a Society
Step 1: Take a look through our Societies directory to find which groups are of interest to you. If you don’t see your hobby or interest covered, consider starting your own society. Get in touch and we can help you through the process.
Step 2: Get in touch with the society you are interested in via their listed email or social media contacts - most of them are active on Instagram. Let them know you are interested in joining and enquire about any free taster sessions and meet-ups. You can also chat to them at the Welcome Fair on 11 September to find out more.
Step 3: Once you are sure you want to sign up to the society, go back to their page on our website to purchase your membership.
Step 4: For most societies, you can choose from a Full Academic Year Membership (typically runs from September through to May) or a Single-Term Membership (From September to December for Term 1, or January to May for Term 2). Add your desired selection to your basket.
Step 5: On the checkout page you will also need to add an ENSA Societies affiliation fee (£5) to your basket (more info below).
Step 6: Once you have purchased your membership, send the society another message to let them know you are signed up. You are now able to join in with any activities they have planned!
What is the ENSA Societies Affiliation Fee?
This is a fee that we charge all society members. You only need to pay the fee once and this allows you to buy as many society memberships as you wish during the current academic year.
The fee goes towards covering ENSA’s admin and staffing costs to support societies with room bookings, banking, arranging transport, and personal injury insurance to cover you if you are hurt while taking part in your chosen activity.
If you would like more information on this, please contact ensa@napier.ac.uk.
