As the global HE sector faces unprecedented new challenges around international student recruitment, having the right message has never been more important

Australian educators are using student ambassadors to help engage with prospective students on any concerns they have about online study.

Keeping the “human element” in international student recruitment and marketing is more important than ever, according to US intl student recruiters.

Student recruitment companies are embracing virtual tours and recruitment fairs in efforts to keep universities and prospective students connected.

New research has revealed that peer-to-peer interactions influence the majority of students (57%) when deciding where to apply to study, more so than friends and family.

UCAS has partnered with edtech startup Unibuddy to digitally connect undergraduate applicants to current students at universities and colleges across the UK.

Digital peer to peer platform Unibuddy has secured $5 million in Series A funding to help it to expand in the US and help to create "more impactful" products.

UCAS and Unibuddy are piloting a partnership that will see a group of institutions integrate Unibuddy’s peer-to-peer technology on the UCAS platform.
