Student Progression Campaign
Overview
The Student Progression Campaign is a University-wide project running from September 2026 to December 2028 with the objective of enhancing student progression, continuation and student success through targeted actions, supports and initiatives.
TU Dublin’s Student Progression Campaign is funded through the Targeted Enhancement Fund via the EOS Project. Funding has been used to put in place an Academic Lead for the project, a Transition Co-Ordinator role in each Faculty, and a Student Success Champion in each School.
The Student Progression Campaign is implemented through the Student Progression Working Group.
Vision
The vision for the Student Progression Campaign (2026-28), as set out by the Student Progression Working Group at its first meeting in October 2026, is:
Through the Student Progression Campaign, we are promoting a University-wide culture of student success at TU Dublin, ensuring that every student feels a sense of belonging, supported, connected and valued throughout their journey. We want to empower students to achieve their full potential and set them up for success by helping them find the learning pathway that is right for them, progress through their studies without facing unnecessary barriers, feel engaged with their learning and their classmates, and enjoy their experience as a TU Dublin student. Above all, we want every student to know and feel that they matter to their lecturers, to our staff and to the University as a whole. We want our staff and students to have a rich awareness of the University's supports and services, have ease of access to relevant data and information, and to work in concert to continuously grow and embed our University-wide culture of student success - where every student has the opportunity to progress and thrive.
