How does the IDP Student Community benefit University Partners?

The IDP Student Community is a strategic engagement layer within the IDP Core Partnership toolkit, designed to help both IDP and our Core Partners build trust with students, drive meaningful engagement, and improve conversion outcomes.

🌐 A Space to Engage Thousands of Students

The Community is a vibrant online environment where students connect with peers, access ambassador-generated content, and participate in themed discussions and events. It’s designed to support students at every stage of their journey - from early research to post-arrival.

🎯 Strategic Benefits for Core Partners

As a Core Partner, the IDP Student Community will be available to you as part of your partnership. It offers two key opportunities:

1. Build Demand

Engage students early in their research journey by sharing authentic, ambassador-generated content that reflects your institution’s strengths and student experience. This helps amplify your brand in a trusted, student-led space - increasing visibility and interest.

2. Convert Demand

Support students as they move from interest to action. The Community nurtures intent through peer-to-peer interaction, helping students feel confident in their decisions - and more likely to convert.

📊 Performance & Insights

Clients receive regular reporting that includes:

  • Engagement metrics (e.g. chat volumes, event attendance)
  • Conversion indicators
  • Ambassador activity
  • Student sentiment and feedback

These insights help clients understand the Community’s impact and identify opportunities to optimise their involvement.

🤝 A Complement to Core Services

The Community works alongside IDP’s counselling, marketing, and events services to create a more holistic student journey. It’s not just a support platform - it’s a strategic tool that strengthens relationships, builds loyalty, and drives results.
