ENSA: Your Students\u2019 Association<\/u><\/strong><\/h1>\n

To all Napier students old and new, welcome (back!)<\/p>\n

We wanted to give you a brief overview of ENSA (Edinburgh Napier Students\u2019 Association). And how you can use the services we provide to make the most of your time at Edinburgh Napier.<\/p>\n

Firstly, if you don\u2019t already know, ENSA is a not a university department, we are an independent charity representing Edinburgh Napier\u2019s students.<\/p>\n

We are based in our office at B34 in Merchiston. But have advice offices at both Sighthill and Craiglockhart too. And now have shared use of the Upper Apex at Merchiston and the Hangout (the seating area just across from the Cafe) at Sighthill. We will be holding events in both spaces. Creating a less formal space for students to spend time.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re now going to give you a brief overview of ENSA\u2019s areas of work \u2013 and how YOU<\/strong> can get involved!<\/p>\n

ENSA REPRESENTATION<\/strong><\/a><\/h2>\n

ENSA exists to both represent the students at Edinburgh Napier University and to facilitate students representing themselves to the university. This is done in a variety of different ways.<\/p>\n

Every year the students of Edinburgh Napier elect our 3 Sabbatical Officers, who work with ENSA staff to fulfil their election manifestos and to represent Napier students to key decision-makers at the university. You can find out more about your 3 presidents, Evans, Chika and Ryan, and the work they\u2019ll be doing this year, here.<\/a><\/p>\n

If you want to get involved in student politics yourself. We have several ways to do so!<\/p>\n

Student Council<\/a> is the place where students come together to debate issues, propose solutions and create positive change.\u00a0 And if you want to have a say in your education and represent students academically why not become a Programme Rep<\/a>. Programme leaders will be looking for volunteers at the start of term!<\/p>\n

ENSA ADVICE<\/strong><\/a><\/h2>\n

ENSA offers Edinburgh Napier students free advice on a range of education and welfare rights issues. We have offices at all 3 campuses and a team of 4 trained, professional advisers to provide students with up-to-date, practical advice, helping them to make informed choices.<\/p>\n

ENSA Advice is independent of the University which means that we can give you the best advice possible when it comes to issues. The service is also completely confidential, and the team will not share any information without your consent.<\/p>\n
