TIMES HIGHER EDUCATION AND EDTECH UNIVERSITY ADMISSIONS COMPANY, CRIMSON EDUCATION, ANNOUNCE INTERNATIONAL PARTNERSHIP
International students to access global university application guidance and candidacy mentoring
London, 27 August 2020
Times Higher Education (THE), the trusted global data partner for higher education, and global university admissions company, Crimson Education, have today announced a partnership to provide student visitors to the THE website with access to expert guidance on university candidacy and career pathways. Prospective international students using the THE website will be able to be referred to Crimson to access services including bespoke support with applications, interview and test preparation as well as mentoring, to give them the best chance of being placed with their dream university.
The announcement follows THE’s move towards holistically supporting students across their journey into higher education study. Crimson will be providing paid consultancy services to help students wanting to study at top-rated THE World University Rankings universities including Oxford, Cambridge and increasingly popular European universities including ETH Zurich in Switzerland and the Univeristé PSL in France.
Paul Howarth, CEO at Times Higher Education says,
“By teaming up with Crimson Education - the global leader in providing an international community of students with university admissions consulting for the top-rated universities in the world – we are providing prospective university students with clarity on not only where to set their sights but how to get there.
At a time where uncertainty surrounding the ability for international students to study abroad is greater than ever as a result of Covid-19, we are dedicating our focus to providing students, parents and university staff with reliable and first-class guidance when looking for advice to plan their higher education futures.“
THE and Crimson Education’s combined resources will provide industry-best content to the millions of students visiting THE’s website each year, and draw on Crimson’s worldwide network of over 2,400 experts as the voice of authority for university consulting services.
Jamie Beaton, Co-founder and CEO of Crimson Education says,
“Our powerful edtech engine is reshaping the education system for the 22nd century, bringing personalised guidance to students, online. In what is a truly dynamic offering, we have been engaging students through global webinars, university campus-based video content and with personalised one-on-one virtual consulting so that each student can carve out a clear roadmap starting with best-fit university selection through to candidacy building and graduate recruitment.
“At this extraordinary time for international students now preparing to apply to world-renowned universities, we are seeing a growing interest in UK universities from what was typically dominated by US universities. Families are also looking to top European universities that are growing in popularity.
We’re excited to join forces with THE so that our international community of students can receive first-class guidance based on our data, research, and network of over 2.400 expert mentors, including former admissions officers, to give themselves the best possible chance to secure an offer to the best-fit university for them.”
With students currently preparing their university applications, THE and Crimson Education expect to see increased demand for information from prospective students who are looking to thought leaders when it comes to top global universities.
