Benefit of this resource and how to make the best use of it

The Seven Cs for Embedding Student Success: A Toolkit for Higher Education Institutions will assist local higher education communities as they reflect on student success, prompt meaningful conversations across institutions that will focus on what student success means within the context of their institution while collaboratively agreeing approaches that support the continual enhancement of student success into the future. This resource builds on the Guiding Framework for Student Success published earlier this year has been developed in consultation with the sector and with the support of the National Forum Student Success Advisory Group.

What does success look like as a student?

In this short film, students in higher education across Ireland reflect on confidence, perseverance, first-time experiences, learning, and the small moments that can make a big difference.

The student voices featured here were gathered through the HEA Student Success Survey and Focus Groups in 2025 and are shared in their own words.

The animations are creative interpretations of those reflections, imagined and produced by second-year Animation students at Dún Laoghaire Institute of Art, Design and Technology (IADT).

From communicating in a second language to returning to education as a mature student, overcoming anxiety, and simply choosing not to quit, these stories explore the many ways success can be experienced.

Even small moments in college can be a success. What are yours?
