A new development from technology company Enroly has gone under the radar in recent weeks but has massive implications on how universities can now benchmark their international admissions performance against the sector.
Currently only operating in the UK, Enroly has partnered with more than a quarter of British universities who use their CAS Shield platform to support international enrolments.
Unlike other tech platforms, the Enroly software sits within the university walls as part of admissions dashboards and, as a consequence, hundreds of thousands of applications are now passing through the system in real-time.
It also allows more than 5,000 international agents to self-serve application updates on behalf of students, including notifications on when they have received their visa.
Another crucial factor is that this growing data lake includes postgraduate applicants, the study level with by far the largest international student growth in the UK, as well as undergraduate applicants.
