We have worked with 40+ universities in the UK, Australia, and NZ to help them with their Data & Analytics needs. We have leveraged this experience to create an admissions dashboard that allows university stakeholders to track applications throughout the admissions cycle. Join Peter Hopwood, as he demonstrates the admissions dashboard and describes the process required to bring together the relevant data to build such a dashboard for your university.

10. 2. What is Data & Analytics?

11. What is Data & Analytics?
• Bringing together data from disparate sources &
structuring it to support institution-wide decision making
• And not forgetting… toolsets, governance, security, data
quality, introducing a data culture, etc.

12. 3. About “Paterson University”

13. About Paterson University
• Paterson University (PU) is a fictitious institution
• We’ve generated fictitious student data
• PU runs XX courses and had approximately 14,000
applicants from 2016/17 to 2018/19
• PU also recruits through a Pathway provider – Better
Knowledge which is a wholly owned subsidiary
Any
resemblance to
actual
university logos,
current or past,
is purely
coincidental!
