Testimonials

We find the Postgrad Directory an excellent, comprehensive guide to postgraduate study. It is well read by our students and a great starting point when considering further study."

-- Jo Tansey, Information Officer, University of Huddersfield

Advertising our Postgraduate Fairs through an email to Prospects subscribers has generated a substantial number of enquiries and traffic to our website."

-- Judith Powell, Graduate Office, Oxford Brookes University.

We utilise a wide range of Prospects products as part of our postgraduate marketing and find them a leading tool in maintaining our profile. As well as the print options, our extended online profile drives a significant amount of traffic onto our website."

-- Lauren Sharman, Senior Student Recruitment Officer, University of Reading

We find the Funding Guide the most useful source of information to guide students through the postgraduate funding minefield. We pass on hundreds of copies to students each year, and it's the first thing we reach for whenever a student asks about finance for further study."

-- Peter Lord, Information Co-ordinator, University of Sheffield Careers Service

We have used both Prospects Postgrad UK and Prospects Postgrad magazines as well as the University Guide, the Funding Guide and Web Profiles this year and feel that they have offered solid promotional opportunities and good value for money. We continue to enjoy strong and dedicated support from our Account Executive and it is reassuring to be able to rely upon this when developing new campaigns or requesting advice and guidance."

-- Mark Terry, Keele University

The Postgrad Funding Guide is a fantastic resource for our students who are thinking about continuing into further study. It is referred to by our staff when advising students and copies are picked up in the careers service and at our postgrad events held on campus.”

-- Sue Spence, Careers Adviser, University Of Huddersfield Careers and Employability Service.

May I take this opportunity to say how impressed we have been with the level of service provided by Prospects, both in terms of the actual advertising and support from you. Without doubt most of our applications have been generated by the Prospects advertisements and very little from competitor companies. Your personable but professional manor accompanied by excellent market coverage are certainly the main reasons for our repeat business with Prospects."

-- Lisa Ward, Syben

Prospects.ac.uk has provided us with a regular high number of referrals to our website and has given us an excellent return on investment."

-- Johanna Harris, Marketing Officer, BPP Law School

This is an excellent, comprehensive and total summary of UK Postgrad. It is an excellent publication."

-- Feedback on Postgrad UK from Andrew Nyenty, British Council in Cameroon

We have regularly used a cross section of the Prospects portfolio as an integral part of our postgraduate open day campaigns, and feedback from visitors has suggested that Prospects products have had a positive impact on visitor numbers"

-- Paul Govey, Head of Student Marketing and Admissions, The University of Manchester

Prospects have been great to deal with - fast, well informed and friendly. Account handlers have always been very accessible and happy to give advice on how to make the most of our budget and raise our department profile."

-- Leonie Taylor, Marketing and Publicity Officer, King's College London

When we surveyed our new postgraduates, about their decision to study at Essex, we asked them about advertising. Prospects was by far the most popular - almost 90% of the students who had looked at advertising, said they used Prospects and rated the service as useful or very useful."

-- Viccy Bartholomew, Graduate Recruitment and Publications Officer, University of Essex

The Prospects Postgraduate Directory is by far the most professional publication for graduates on the market. Combining useful editorial with clear subject sections, the directory proves to be not only a useful resource for potential students, but also an excellent medium for raising the profile of the university. As the official provider of postgraduate information, Graduate Prospects prove to be an efficient and effective company to use."

-- Ann Spencer, Postgraduate Recruitment and Admissions Officer, University of Glasgow

The Prospects publications are an excellent resource for potential students, and a valuable marketing tool for institutions. Prospects have continually provided an effective service, tailored to our needs and always with a personal touch."

-- Caroline Nunnerley, Postgraduate Recruitment, University of Essex

We always use 'Prospects Graduate' to advertise our KTP associate posts, because we believe this helps us to hit our target audience and feel that we get good value for money from Prospects. We know a lot of our applicants go to 'Graduate' because we ask them to put on their application where they saw the post advertised. From a recent advert we had 28 responses, 8 of which were through 'Prospects Graduate' which I think is very good"

-- Sue Wheeler, KTP Programme Coordinator, University of Brighton

“Prospects Law is one of the most appropriate publications available to inform prospective students, not just about the array of legal qualifications open to them, but also offers excellent advice on how to approach a career in the legal professions, or how to maximise your potential with a legal qualification. I would say it should be the first port of call for anyone who’s serious about their legal education!”.

-- Andy McKenna, Marketing Officer, University of Strathclyde

May I take this opportunity to express our appreciation of your services. We find your website also very useful and user-friendly and we often introduce it to our postgraduate inquirers."

-- Shirin Saebnoori, Education Adviser, British Council, Kuwait

Prospects Postgrad UK provides a general overview of postgraduate studies in the UK (especially the structure) which most Hungarian students do not know anything about, it is very easy to use."

-- Vera Pejési, British Council, Hungary

Prospects Postgrad magazine affords us an excellent opportunity to reach a relevant undergraduate audience at universities throughout the UK. We have received numerous enquiries as a direct result of our combined presenced in both the magazine and online, helping to strengthen our overall postgraduate profile in the UK."

-- Michael Rogerson, Postgraduate Marketing Officer, Bangor University

We have found the Prospects Postgraduate Funding Guide particularly valuable. It provides just the right level of detail, in an easy to use booklet which has become our primary resource in meeting students needs for information on potential sources of funding."

-- Heriot Watt University Careers Service

We use Prospects Postgrad regularly with at least two of the University's departments advertising in each issue. We use it as it is the ideal targeted publication for potential postgraduate students. We also know that it is widely used as a reference material and is available in careers centres, our own included."

-- Claire Long, Marketing Assistant, University of Teesside

Prospects.ac.uk is highly recommended to prospective students as it can help them filter what and where they would like to study in the UK and the information is at their fingers tips."
