Getting involved with the wider University community At programme level, ENSA’s role is to train and support your elected programme representatives and facilitate their engagement with the representative structures. The fundamental role of a programme representative is to listen to students’ views on your programme, and take forward those issues effecting most of the students. This may include ideas for improvements and constructive solutions on how to fix things when they are not working. Edinburgh Napier University and ENSA actively encourage you to get involved in your education experience by engaging with your student representatives. The University is committed to working in partnership with you and ENSA as members of the academic community to drive forward its ambitious academic agenda, and to strive for academic excellence for its students and the University. School representatives The focus of your programme representatives is to ensure that the Programme Team understand your expectations of the programme. There is also another group of student representatives called ‘School Representatives’ who operate at a strategic level. Each School selects four students to engage with the representative structures at School level and above. These students deal with the broader themes as described in the University Strategic Plan. Team Napier Getting involved with ENSA sports can be one of the best things you do at University. All of the ENSA Sports clubs, along with ENSA Societies, make up one big Team Napier. Every year ENSA’s sports clubs just get bigger and better, and many enjoy great success representing Team Napier in inter-university competitions. ENSA societies are your chance to connect with like-minded people, develop new interests and skills, and maybe even make some of the best friends of your life while you are at it.
