How Budapest Metropolitan University tripled student enrollment in 3 years

Jan 4, 2019 | Case studies

Budapest Metropolitan University is one of DreamApply’s oldest clients, and our first Central European partner in 2014. Budapest Metropolitan University has become one of the most international universities in Hungary in the past five years.

How were things done before DreamApply?

We used to work with Excel files and a lot of papers. To make a comparison, adopting DreamApply has been like coming from the middle ages to the 21st century.

Results from DreamApply

It is important for us that feedback from applicants is positive and they are delighted with a modern, up-to-date application system.

From an applications management perspective, staff can track all the applicants’ journeys, starting from understanding where they are coming from (e.g. agents or other marketing channels), to being able to quickly reject an applicant who has been trying to apply for years without fulfilling the entry qualifications (via their track record).

In addition to students’ satisfaction, it is essential that the training of new colleagues to adopt the system is easy as the system is user-friendly – new staff members can handle the system in just a couple of days, furthering enrollment goals of the institution.

Furthermore, an essential factor is having a variety of reports available to quickly overview our admissions data to make data-driven decisions for future growth.

What is your experience like with our Client Happiness team

DreamApply Client Happiness Team has always been quick with responses. On average, we get answers in a couple of hours if there are any questions.

What data can you report in terms of your enrollment since implementing DreamApply?

Over the first two implementation years, Budapest Metropolitan University has tripled the number of successful enrollments.
