The funnel & the wheel

international education
was like a funnel – from
enquiry to graduation – a
straightforward numbers
game of conversion ratios.
Marketing
• Students just kept coming.
Applications
• Graduates tumbled out of
at the bottom, no doubt
enlightened and positive.
Registrations
• Strategic planning was
limited to the positioning of
the funnel - which markets
to target.

International education
a high value discretionary purchase decision
•
For almost all people, the pursuit of full-time study in another country is the single
largest consumer purchase decision they will ever make.
•
Consumer: “an individual who purchases goods or services for personal use”
•
Purchase decision: scale, complexity and permanence
•
Now place several time zones between you and your prospective purchase
•
Which source is most highly valued in making that decision?
•
So we need to understand and track what our customers are thinking

How does it work?
•
Partner universities email their international student cohort at three points in the year
– commonly October/November, February/March and May/June.
•
The email, usually sent in the Vice Chancellor’s name, acknowledges the significant
investment of time and money made by students and invites their feedback.
•
The email also refers to significant incentives.
•
Students click a link in the email to complete the Barometer in confidence, online.
•
The questionnaire takes less than 12 minutes of their time.
•
The questionnaire is branded with the university’s name/logo.
•
Most questions are drawn from a common question bank to enable comparison, but
the questionnaire is unique to each university.
•
Responses are analysed by i-graduate across the vacation period and reported back
in time for the start of the next term.
•
The report-back includes detailed analysis of international student opinion by
nationality, subject area and level of study.
•
Comparisons are made across time and across the sector, providing an independent,
objective externally-validated longitudinal benchmark.

Why should we have an International Student Barometer?
•
To inform departmental and institutional decision-making
•
To identify priority areas for investment or support
•
To adapt recruitment and marketing to manage expectations
•
To enlighten students about cultural differences - and how their own
attitudes are likely to change over time (playing back selected findings)
•
To educate staff – providing enlightened insights into the motivations,
attitudes and perceptions of diverse nationalities and ethnic groups.
•
To enable national and global benchmarking - to measure the success of
your institution and set realistic goals and objectives for improvement
•
To enhance competitive advantage
•
To keep a finger on the pulse of international student opinion
