What defines exceptional student experience?

(and when it is defined how is it implemented?)

We have seen exciting university campus development over the last ten years which has created some outstanding new facilities.

How do we now take these facilities and our exising estate even further to deliver an exceptional experience for both staff and students?

Think Forward is currently working with a number of institutes to explore what the future student experience could look like and how it can be delivered swiftly and in a cost effective way.

We are looking to answer the following questions:

  • How do we retain and better support students through their journey at university?
  • How do we ensure we equip them with the right skills to make them resouceful, resilient and work ready citizens?
  • How do we enable and empower staff?
  • What are the right spaces and services that will support this journey?
  • How do we attract interest in our university in an ever competitive market?

In a challenging climate, higher education institutions must step forward and think differently. With extensive experience in delivering holistic space solutions, Think Forward, align strategic vision, people, process and place to create a unique and effective student and staff experience.
