Royal College of Art

Tripling conversion rates and creating a buzz among offer holders

Heading to university is an exciting experience, but it can be daunting, especially for students who are uprooting their lives to move to a new city or even a new country. That's when the excitement starts mixing with other, more complex feelings of uncertainty (and perhaps a little fear!). London-based Royal College of Art wanted to create a community ahead of their 2023 September intake to help prospective students feel more confident and prepared for the big leap ahead. Find out how they achieved this using our Group Chat feature.

University of Galway

Keeping prospects engaged with online events

For international students, it can be hard to get a sense of what the university is really like and have the opportunity to hear from current students as an international prospect. That's when online events can be a game-changer.

University of Galway’s International Office tackled the challenge of engaging applicants from oversees by hosting a series of online events using Streams on The Ambassador Platform in the lead-up to their main September 2023 intake.

The University of South Australia

Giving conversions a boost by switching peer-to-peer providers

The Ambassador Platform helped them save the day.

University of Technology Sydney

Creating meaningful human connections to increase conversions.

Starting a new life overseas can be daunting. The University of Technology Sydney (UTS) wanted to offer future students a window into their unique student experience.

Using student-generated content for social media marketing

Throughout our partnership, NCUK has consistently repurposed the top-notch content created by their ambassadors to fuel their social media campaign and make their website as engaging as it can be

Alliance University

Converting prospects quicker through peer-to-peer conversations

Downing College, Cambridge

Student mentoring

Downing College wanted to give year 12 and year 13 students the opportunity to connect with others online to get support pre and post-application, and share general tips and advice about studying at the University of Cambridge.

Keble College, Oxford

Running events for access and outreach using Streams

In an effort to reduce barriers to entry, and to increase access to genuine advice from students who have recently been through the process themselves, Keble College organized a Q&A session between their ambassadors and students from state schools who offered admissions interviews for the 2022/23 academic year.

Keble chose to host their event using our new events product Streams.
