Abstract

At the University of Exeter our 2030 strategic vision is to use the power of our education and research to create a sustainable, healthy and socially just future. To do this we will develop critical, creative and empowered people through our educational programmes and by creating knowledge, making discoveries and providing solutions through our research. We are committed to working with our partners and communities, to being a great employer, providing accessible education and preserving, advancing and disseminating knowledge.

Underpinning this mission, our global ambitions, and our resolution to remain at the top of the prestigious Russell Group of leading UK universities for student experience, is a recognition that we must lead the sector in our approach to Recruitment and Admissions.

As we diversify learning experiences, increase modes of educational delivery, and seek to transform how we utilise data to support applicants and students, enhance their outcomes and improve institutional performance, the University of Exeter is keen to understand what products and partners are leading the ‘Recruitment and Admissions’ market now and into the future.

Our aim is to implement improvements to the Admissions business processes and systems, in order to realise the University Digital Admissions ambitions of improved lead and applicant experience, staff experience, processing efficiency and improved recruitment data and insight. These improvements aim to enable the delivery of the ambitions set out in Strategy 2030, particularly in relation to improved applicant experience, driving up international student numbers and improving the diversity of our home and global applicant community, increased system automation and increase in applications processing by 2030/31.

We are gathering information to enable us to identify potential partners with matching visions and corresponding capabilities to create a future-focused collaborator with whom we can start laying the recruitment and admissions foundations underlying our 2030 vision:

“Together we create the possible.”
