The Future Student Barometer (FSB) measures the effectiveness of your positioning and marketing in the UK and worldwide by evaluating the factors that informed the students' estimation of your institution as a possible place to study - at the point of application and at the point of offer. Alongside this it also identifies which other institutions were considered and why, and the factors that are informing students' choice.
Our University partners use the Future Student Barometer to:
-
Accurately assess their positioning in different markets (you will also receive benchmarking against competitors - at the point of student application)
-
Identify their real, current competitors in individual markets, as perceived by the applicants
-
Identify the most effective information channels currently being deployed, and how important they are in student choice
-
Focus marketing expenditure where it works - by country
-
Adapt communications to steer applicants to them
-
Regular updates for your institution during the application to offer cycle and as they come in provide partners with up to the minute information so they can take immediate action if necessary
You will also receive end of cycle analysis of what exactly has influenced potential applicants during this period, what other factors have come into play, how well your institution has nurtured the applicants and what has influenced final choice
