Driven by our research and student insight, we've prepared our best student welcome programme yet for the 2024/25 academic year.

In our latest podcast episode, we look at new initiatives to improve students' university experience in their accommodation for 2024/25.

Student needs are constantly evolving. Here’s how we’re improving our student support and resident experience offer for 2024/25.

We’re dedicated to investing in students and young people. That means going beyond offering a great place to live, but also giving them the opportunities and skills they need to achieve their goals. Our early careers programme offers students the opportunity to gain valuable industry experience on our tailored Industrial Placement learning programme, which has been named as 7th in the 2024’s ‘Best 50 Small-Medium Sized Placement Schemes’ according to reviews RateMyPlacement. Here, our User Experience (UX) Design Industrial Placement Student, Jack Pearce, shares more about his experience on our Early Careers programme, during his time studying Graphic Desing at Portsmouth University, and why it’s important for companies to offer paid work experience opportunities to students and young people.

Whether it’s giving our residents the information they need before they arrive or sharing updates throughout their time living with Unite Students, our Customer Communications function plays a vital role in keeping students informed and engaged. We spoke to Alex Bloor (Customer Communications Manager) and Kathleen McKeown (Customer Communications Executive) about what their typical day involves, how they keep their content relevant to students, and some of the unusual situations they’ve had to tackle in their role.
