Peer-to-peer engagement

Our products and services

Enable prospective students to interact with your current students, allowing them to ask questions and develop a sense of connection with your university or college whilst they do their research.

The data you need, the leads you want

 

With competition increasing, student expectations changing, declining retention rates, and economic uncertainty, student recruitment is more challenging than ever. Accessing rich insight into the student mindset, along with relevant quality leads, is crucial. 

Give prospective students an inside view

 

Give prospective students an insider's view of what it's really like to study, live and socialise at your university or college. Students like to chat via online messaging and communicating this way boosts confidence and empowers students to speak openly – let your best student ambassadors do the talking for you.  

Through Unibuddy on UCAS students receive trusted insights from your current students, in a familiar and supportive environment.
