The Challenge of Marketing Your Courses.

Giving people compelling reasons why they should enrol on your university programmes is vital to successful recruitment. Our aim is to help you do this by offering insight that shows people how your courses can lead them to the careers they aspire to, and analytics that will enable you to tailor your university marketing campaigns even more effectively.

How Can we Help?

When it comes to student recruitment, people thinking of going to university want assurance that the course they choose will lead them to a sustainable career. This presents university marketing teams with a great incentive for promoting courses and their link to potential careers. But how can you achieve this?


Through our detailed Labour Market Insight, we can map your courses to relevant careers and earnings in labour markets relevant to your institution, be they local, regional or national. This then gives you the ability to show potential students a clear route from courses to potential careers and through engaging them with this content, you can also gain valuable insights that can then feed back into your future engagement to make even sharper.
