How to connect with our student community
Build your TSR Community
Utilise our Ambassador tool on site to post content or engage with prospective students, build your community. An exclusive feature of the UPP Unlimited package, we position and badge your Ambassadors as the authoritative voice of your university, so students know they can trust your communications.
You will be at the heart of opinion-forming conversations where they can post and answer questions, set up threads on topics that matter to you, and respond when students are talking about your university.
Drive brand awareness and optimise early engagement
Brand awareness is crucial in the early decision-making stages, so we can position your university brand in high traffic areas of our site where your impressions will make a lasting impact. You can also use the Ambassador tool to answer questions and promote your university on applicant threads. Or email our database of prospective students to build brand with certain subject areas.
