Student Decision Report
The only way to find out why students did (or didn’t) choose you.
The only way to find out why students did (or didn’t) choose you.
Every year – just after they accept or reject their main choices – more than 100,000 applicants answer these questions and more.
The Student Decision Report – packed with qualitative and quantitative feedback – is the basis of a truly insight-led recruitment strategy that can help you decide where to focus your resource next.
Provided yearly with the same question set, you can also track your progress as weaknesses are strengthened and misunderstandings ironed out. With our unique access to students – there’s no other report like this.
'It’s become an embedded habit – every year we wait for it to arrive and there’s a full-on check, down to subject level. We review our approach using the feedback: we don’t assume we know the cohort – student recruitment is about listening to students.’
"It is particularly useful to have the competitor benchmarking to highlight our strengths and/or areas where we are underperforming in terms of factors important to our prospective students."
"Continued correspondence from the university before or after applying is extremely important in portraying their enthusiasm for potential applicants and attendees."
"I found the staff quite cold and not very enthusiastic. Having said this, the facilities were amazing."
Student Decision Reports are available from July each year, after applicants have replied to any offers they received.
Your report shape and size will depend on the volume of replies from your applicants - the more responses, the more detailed the reports. We'll let you know how many responses you received and the associated pricing.
You can also benefit from additional insight on the findings, using our knowledge of the cycle, trends and your provider to create bespoke recommendations. Find out more about our Consultancy Team or take a look at our competitor package below.
