Our earliest engagement with potential students can begin as early as initial senior school years through our outreach work, with full recruitment support through all stages through to registration and enrolment. We actively engage and support prospective international students with our overseas activities, directly or through third party agents. Whilst very successful with student recruitment to date, we are continuously looking to improve our engagement and support, always aiming to provide the best student experience from their first contact with us. We in addition continue to review our ways of working to find more effective and efficient methods, enhancing the service we provide through utilising accessible software solutions ### Systems Whilst without a CRM solution for student recruitment at present, we do fully utilise Tribal SITS to support application management and plan to continue to do so.
