Case: Antwerp Management School
The Antwerp Management School, abbreviated AMS, is a Belgian business school. The AMS is an autonomous institution of the University of Antwerp. They approached us with an interesting challenge regarding the pre- and onboarding of students. Read more below.
Challenges
AMS had a challenge to easily (pre-)onboard and integrate its newly enrolled international students outside the chosen course.
- How can we (pre-)onboard prospective students easily & properly on AMS?
- How do we connect international students early on without sharing contact details? (GDPR proof)
- How can we easily communicate with our prospective students? (Facebook is being used less and less)
Solution
AMS has launched its own community for its students where students:
- Being able to make direct contact with senior students upon admission
- Find each other easily by interests, study, starting year, language, etc.
- Being able to make contact safely without having to share personal data
- Simply ask questions to existing students
- With 1 click you can participate in events or organize them yourself
Why Joinby?
The reasons why AMS chose Joinby:
- Facebook is no longer used by everyone, Instagram has no groups
- Students can easily find each other through the categories we wanted
- It takes no effort for students and the organization to make contact
Results
What AMS gives back to us:
- We see groups of students who have already met before the 1st lesson
- Students who helped each other via the platform during corona
- Many students who make (sports) appointments with each other
- 80+% of students who sign up for the community
