Who Are Mystery Students?

Mystery Students pose as prospective students, attending university and college open days to evaluate the experience from an attendee’s perspective. They assess various aspects of educational institutions, including the quality of information provided, the engagement of staff and lecturers, the overall atmosphere, and the facilities. They’ve even been tasked with testing unique scenarios in education—our favorite is exam cheating!

Blending in effortlessly with real prospective students, Mystery Students deliver unbiased and authentic insights into the student experience. With a nationwide network of Mystery Students, we provide valuable feedback to help educational institutions improve their open day events and student engagement strategies.

What Is Mystery Shopping in Education?

Our Education Industry Mystery Shopping service provides universities, schools, and colleges with a unique opportunity to see their institution through the eyes of prospective students.

This personalised program works closely with your admissions and marketing teams to highlight strengths, identify areas for improvement, and enhance your institution’s appeal to future students.

By focusing on the details that matter most to students, our service helps refine open day experiences, ensuring every interaction positively influences their decision-making process.

How Does it Work?

Our process starts by assigning Mystery Students tasks that replicate the actions and inquiries of prospective students.

These tasks can include asking staff specific questions, evaluating the ease of navigating the campus, or attending workshops and lectures during open days.

Mystery Students then record their observations using our advanced technology, delivering real-time, actionable insights. This approach enables educational institutions to assess the effectiveness of their communication, the quality of their facilities and services, and the overall satisfaction of their prospective students.
