Doing well in university isn't just about getting through your classes and assessments. It's also about staying happy, healthy, and connected with others while working towards completing your study.
In fact, Flinders students told us that, broadly speaking, students define success in five key ways:
In a student's words, success is:
"Getting a degree and graduating with a wealth of knowledge, hand on experience and a job. Being happy, healthy and socially fulfilled while studying, with access to services to foster that success and studying in an inclusive environment that serves your needs."
You can find out more in our Student Success Report.
Success Week is about helping you achieve success and celebrating your wins. It aims to empower you with the tools you need to succeed at uni and in your future career. You’ll be introduced to academic and career support services and loads of resources for you to tap into now, and throughout your time at Flinders.
