We understand the problem your institution faces
At Study Planner, we understand the problem universities face. Despite investing significant institutional resources designing and staffing world class programs and putting in place comprehensive student support measures, the initial experience for eager new students is often bewildering and intimidating.
All the months of staff time spent convening expert meetings and liaising with industry to develop future-focused, constructively aligned, and academically rigorous programs are at risk of failing before students even set foot in the classroom. The reason is that most students lack a sufficient understanding of curriculum design and complex program requirements to select and sequence their courses in a way that will optimise their learning. Students regularly get it wrong, and then struggle to manage the consequences for the rest of their program.
The stakes couldn’t be higher. Students are already facing pressures trying to balance work and study. Program advising teams are exceptional but overstretched. Attrition, delayed progression, and poor graduate outcomes threaten to undermine the realisation of the institution’s core purpose. If that wasn’t bad enough, for universities operating under performance-based funding, poor student outcomes put critical revenue streams at risk.
We’re here to help
At Study Planner our team of experts have advised countless students on how to select and optimally sequence their courses. We’ve won national and international awards for university teaching, developed top ranking programs in the Good Universities Guide, led institution-wide staff capacity building and student engagement initiatives, and shared best practice across the higher education sector. We have years of experience chairing academic committees, leading working groups, accrediting curriculum, overseeing quality assurance, and responding to requests from Deans, Heads of School, and University Executive on how to improve policy and implement best-practice.
