Student and graduate success
Design strategies that prioritise student and graduate satisfaction and drive long-term success
It’s well known that a happy and satisfied student or a successful graduate are the ultimate brand advocates, generating priceless word-of-mouth positivity well into the future, and building their institution’s brand more effectively than conventional marketing investment.
Yet, taking the student experience to a level where student satisfaction rises significantly – positively influencing the results of influential student experience surveys like the International Student Barometer (ISB) – is far from easy. It demands a focused, collaborative effort from everyone.
As education sector specialists, we’ve achieved real success with strategies that inspire everyone in an institution to work together. Often, the key to this is placing the student at the heart of the educational and campus experience.
It’s important to know what students think, feel and need. But at Edified we go way beyond surveys. We invite students to co-design a better student experience, for far more meaningful improvement.
We can help you refocus your business so that it places the student at the centre and elevates the student voice – particularly on the key issues of affordability, wellbeing, academic achievement and retention, and employability (consistently top issues for students everywhere).
With our many years experience in redesigning the student experience, drawing on global insights from the ISB to achieve world’s best practice, we can help you build a strong business case for investment in this critical area.
We understand what an excellent student experience looks like from the student’s perspective and the challenges faced by institutions to deliver this consistently. We can help turn insights into action to help you enhance your student and graduate experience.
