As our newsletters are sent on a monthly or fortnightly basis, it allows you to plan your adverts around your recruitment strategy.

You can advertise as often or as little as you’d like, with the option to pick and choose from our list of available dates throughout the academic year. Here’s a breakdown of how frequently each of our e-newsletters are sent;

• Postgraduates: The beginning of each term (twice a year)
• First & Intermediate Year Undergraduates: The last Monday of every month during term time
• Final Year Undergraduates: One to two times a month according to deadlines and exams
• By degree programme: Fortnightly during term time

Through surveys, focus groups and analytics we’re able to see that students prefer to receive information about career opportunities via email. It’s a flexible and affordable way to draw a large cohort of student’s attention, boosting the reputation of your organisation and opportunities. Here’s just a few advantages to using the service;

• Let students know when you’ll be on campus

At just £160+VAT per each newsletter entry, you can reach thousands of students quickly, easily and affordably.

On request, we can also send a breakdown of the newsletters open rates and click-throughs on your advert.
