Supporting higher education to shape student experiences and expectations
Our approach
At Perago, we recognise the complex environment facing universities today, from evolving regulations to resource and funding constraints.Leveraging our experience in higher education projects and guided by human-centred design principles, we've assembled a team of experts to help universities develop impactful programmes that enhance student success and satisfaction.
Our experience has taught us that there are three immediate challenges for universities:
Funding
Many universities rely heavily on government funding and tuition fees. However, with increasing competition and uncertainty over funding, many institutions must find new ways to generate revenue.
Recruitment
Universities compete with one another to attract the best and brightest students, both domestically and internationally. This requires effective marketing and recruitment strategies to showcase the university's strengths and unique features.
Digital transformation and infrastructure
With digital technology's growing importance in education, universities must continue to invest in and develop their digital infrastructure and online learning resources to meet the needs of students and faculty.
We have supported higher education institutions by:
Developing a value proposition
A strong value proposition could also help to align the university's mission and vision with the needs and expectations of its stakeholders, including students, faculty, staff, and the wider community. A compelling value proposition can lead to improved student and talent attraction.
Providing strategic collaboration
We know how collaboration between different skill sets can benefit the economy. By supplying the workforce with diverse talents and experiences and seamless transitions from academia, we can support the regional economy and create business growth.
Student experience
We recognise the importance of supporting student well-being, promoting diversity and inclusion to boost student engagement, and providing innovative digital resources.
Place shaping
Supporting the development of university campuses to help attract a diverse set of prospective student groups. We consider and develop a mix of physical space and its relationship with the local town and economy to design digital and online offerings to support hybrid interactions with the university.
