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.


Inform and influence prospective applicants


Prospective postgraduate students are looking for information on The Student Room, so why not hold a discussion partnership around the topic? You will be seen and remembered by students who are sending strong signals that they are considering applying soon.
