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
We were looking for a platform that allowed our incoming students to already connect before the start of the academic year. Since privacy regulations don't allow us to share personal data from students, the Joinby platform was a great solution. It offers our students the option to filter on program, interest, academic year, etc. which makes it easy for them to find students from the same program as theirs or with similar interests
