CASE STUDY

Leeds Beckett University

Leeds Beckett University partners with Sitecore to drive £17m revenue target

Leeds Beckett University increases student engagement by up to 40% with inspiring website powered by Sitecore technology
Project brief

The UK’s tertiary education sector has seen huge funding disruption in recent times, with students expected to pay for education and living expenses through personal loans. Consequently, they are more selective about where they study. With 150 universities vying for the student pound and providing similar courses or alternatives like online and distance learning, universities like Leeds Beckett University must fight to attract students (and staff) and differentiate their learning and life experiences. They also need to attract international students who generate additional revenue.
