How customers choose
Prospective students research programmes, rankings, fees, scholarships and visa options months in advance, often comparing several countries. They attend webinars or open days, apply, then need reminders about documents, deadlines and enrolment. International students rely heavily on WhatsApp and email for answers.
Channel mix
Search and programme pages bring organic enquiries; social ads and webinars build awareness; email nurtures applicants through the cycle; WhatsApp answers questions quickly, especially from international applicants; SMS handles deadline and interview reminders.
Compliance points
Universities must follow data protection law for applicant data, including transfers abroad, and advertising of rankings or graduate outcomes must be accurate. Student recruitment agents should follow the institution's code of practice.
Campaign ideas
- Application deadline reminder sequences by programme
- Scholarship webinar invitations for international students
- Offer-holder engagement messages to reduce drop-off before enrolment
