Strategy & Business Development

As an education provider you don’t only carry the responsibility to offer excellent teaching and academic programmes, but you also have the honour to prepare your students for their professional future.

For students and young professionals themes like internationalisation, employability, and career guidance are crucial in choosing a degree and are leading factors in having a positive student experience. However, in the StudyPortal’s latest Global Student Satisfaction Report respondents scored their insitutes’ support on international career development a 3.86 / 5 only.

Is this a reflection of your students’ experience too?

Then let’s dive into the possibilities of transforming your students’ experiences and future journeys.
