Education

We provide a full range of services devised to help our clients understand the students who study with them as well as those who choose to go elsewhere, or are still deciding where and what to study, alumni and other key stakeholders. As large scale, complex organisations our clients benefit from a family of research products which also encompass employee satisfaction, internal communications and the performance of support services.

From small scale qualitative studies (through Mimosa) to large scale e-mail projects (which act as a census of all students within a given institution), we provide a full range of in-house methodologies. Our e-mail surveys in particular have proved extremely cost effective in providing data that is robust enough to be examined down to individual faculty/ course level.

We pride ourselves on understanding the key issues facing the Education industry today, be it the introduction of tuition fees, the publication of National Student Survey findings, or the impact of changing attitudes amongst year 12 and 13 students towards various courses/subject areas.

More and more Higher Educational institutions are turning to The Oxford Research Agency to provide them with the insights that enable them to gain a competitive advantage over others in the field. Our key strengths include: providing research that is impartial, that communicates at all levels (not just to the research literate), produces actionable results (not just interesting findings) and is contextualised with research conducted at other universities and other customer led industries.
