Many institutions are seeing declining undergraduate numbers – yet they suspect that they have pockets of subject excellence that warrant greater focus.

Many address the problem by imagining new ‘products’ (or subjects) to add to the portfolio – but this is rarely the answer. In our experience, most institutions have the solution to growth within their existing portfolio – they just don’t know where they should concentrate their efforts or how to develop a cohesive plan to engage those across their institution.

The sector environment is challenging and it's not always obvious where to redirect precious resources for the greatest return.

We have a process to help you identify your potential wins:

  • STEP 1

    We start the process with a series of interviews with up to 3 key identified stakeholders to ascertain their thoughts on the strengths and weaknesses of the current strategies, propositions and portfolios (usually via scheduled Teams slots).

  • STEP 2

    We then analyse your undergraduate student recruitment data.

  • STEP 3

    After an assessment of your portfolio we will develop an ‘Opportunities Analysis’ and a ‘Quick Wins’ report for your institution.

  • STEP 4

    You’ll receive a presentation of headline findings.
