Ravensbourne Partners With OIEG to Operate Application Processing

O Oxford International Education Group has been hired by Ravensbourne University London to run its student application processing services. The company's Education Services business unit, which will be introduced in late 2021, aims to increase the number of international students admitted to the digital media and design universities and "help students enjoy an even smoother application journey."

The partnership will "help to alleviate the process for our staff as well as improve the experience for prospective students during the application journey," according to Ravensbourne Vice Chancellor Andy Cook.

By FY23, the partnership hopes to double the number of foreign students attending the university's campus in London's Greenwich Peninsula.

…we streamlined the student processing service to enable universities to focus on their core offerings while we look after their backend recruitment…

With an emphasis on design and information technology, Cook continued, "We look forward to welcoming the next generation of talent from around the world with more ease than ever."

Stakeholders have previously stated that speed and communication are "key" factors in student conversion. In an effort to expand and enhance their admissions services, approximately 25 UK universities have turned to white-label products and other services from QS Enrolment Solutions.

OIEG Chief Development Officer David Pilsbury emphasised that universities are dealing with a "greater regulatory burden imposed by the UK Home Office," despite the fact that others have drawn attention to the elevated expectations of applicants. Speaking to the media, he said, "Our approach is operationally simple by design. We streamlined the student processing service to enable universities to focus on their core offerings while we look after their backend recruitment."

According to OIEG, the global team's 60+ employees in the UK, India, and Hong Kong provide infrastructure and on-the-ground support.
