Universities are big, complex institutions that can't afford to invest that much time and effort into their websites. At the same time, universities are facing increasing competition to attract students (it's getting more common to consider apprenticeships, coding bootcamps or go straight into work).
Unibuddy makes it easy for universities to connect with more prospective students to drive applications. Its peer-to-peer setup means the operational effort for the company is low, as current students answer the questions.
Unibuddy has firm goals in mind - partnering up with more institutions internationally to empower more students, grow the size of the company, expand its product range, and above all, Unibuddy wants to be an all-in-one platform - taking care of everything from selecting a programme, to onboarding to post-graduation.
