Achieve your student recruitment goals

The student recruitment journey usually moves through five stages: awareness, interest, application, admission, and enrolment. Each step is a chance to either lose or win the right student. That’s why QS offers solutions designed for every stage – boosting visibility through our rankings and events, nurturing student interest with digital campaigns, and supporting conversion with tools that help more applicants choose your institution.

Growing and diversifying enrolments means reaching the right students in the right way. QS helps universities do that through international marketing campaigns, recruitment events that connect you directly with students, and digital platforms that reach millions worldwide. Our advisory and analytics solutions give you the insight and confidence to set clear strategies and make informed decisions – helping you attract qualified, diverse candidates and build a more global, resilient student body.

Student recruitment drives more than just enrolment numbers. It helps universities attract diverse, high-quality applicants, strengthen their international reputation, and secure long-term growth. With competition for students increasing worldwide, effective recruitment ensures institutions stand out and connect with the right learners. QS supports universities with data-driven insights, global reach, and tailored strategies – helping you boost applications, improve student fit, and thrive in a competitive higher education landscape.
