Enhancing conversions with University of Exeter

In 2022, The University of Exeter became one of the first in the Russell Group to adopt FastLane. Having experienced unprecedented levels of demand post-pandemic, it wanted a means to process overseas applicants more smoothly, taking the pressure off admissions teams, while streamlining the most suitable candidates. The study highlights a significant above standard application-to-offer rate of more qualified candidates and displays how the service has impacted productivity and efficiency, resulting in a more simplified recruitment process.

The University of Exeter is a Russell Group university well-known for its academic excellence, top quality research facilities, particularly in areas such as climate change, environmental science and medicine. It has a commitment to providing a supportive and inclusive environment for its students and staff and is one of the top 10 universities in the UK for student satisfaction. The University of Exeter campus is a diverse and welcoming community with over 22,000 students from all over the world.

The application turnaround times of various institutions were impacted by the volume of applications the UK has experienced in the last few years. The University of Exeter decided they wanted to increase conversion by finding a solution that would improve the quality of applications and reduce the length of time spent on reviewing applications that were not suited to university.
