Enhancing the applicant journey at Staffordshire University

About this event

Learn how Staffordshire University adopted a community-based approach to enhance applicant journey (>80% conversion, while managing UG admissions (-25% email enquiries)

WHY

Generating communities for university applicants is a great way for them to make important connections and friendships, but it is also a valuable space for students to find answers to questions they have about the process and about what lies ahead. With the right structure these communities can become a valuable resource for teams dealing with significant admissions volume and scale. In this workshop we will be joined by Paul Donnelly, UG Applicant Services Manager at Staffordshire University to discuss how their team have optimised their online communities to achieve an unprecedented 23% reduction in the volume of inbound student enquiries.
