HEPI and Unite Students are hosting a webinar to discuss the results and issues raised in the 2025 Unite Students’ Applicant Index.
Launched in 2022 in partnership with HEPI, the Index systematically tracks university applicants’ attitudes each year, asking students about their lives before university and offering UK universities an indicator of what to expect when students arrive in the autumn. The annual survey covers themes including: finance, social, community, wellbeing, resilience, learning, employment, independence and sustainability, and provides insight into the needs, wants and level of preparedness of a new cohort of first-year students.
Join us on Tuesday 8 July from 11am to 12pm to hear the results of the new Index and a panel of speakers to discuss the findings, including:
- Jenny Shaw, HE Engagement Director, Unite Students
- Andy Forbes, Executive Director, Lifelong Learning Institute
- Mike Nicholson, Director of Recruitment, Admissions and Participation, University of Cambridge
- Eleni Bray, Assistant Headteacher & Head of Sixth Form, Wanstead High School
- Lewis Wilson, Education & Employability Officer, University of Sussex Students’ Union
- Chaired by Lucy Haire, Director of Partnerships, HEPI
