“At Swansea University, we pride ourselves on having an outstanding and personalised student experience – and for us, this should start at enquiry stage. We’ve been impressed by the results that Hobsons has achieved working with other universities in the UK and Australia. We want to continue to attract high quality international students to Swansea, and Hobsons can offer the service we need to help potential applicants feel encouraged and supported, whilst ensuring that the whole process is expertly managed. We’re looking forward to working together and seeing some really positive results.” 

Kenny Nicholl, Director at Hobsons added: “We’re really enthusiastic about working with Swansea University, as we know our work with international students complements what the university wants to do as a whole in terms of improving the student experience and developing relationships with prospective students. We will be working with Swansea University to establish best practice processes in student enquiry and offer management, and look forward to seeing the impact of our work together.”
