These enquiries currently lead to around 1 500 complete applications each year, with the University expecting to grow these numbers exponentially over the next 3 years. In addition, around 70 000 outbound e-mails and 18 000 outbound phone calls are made each year as part of the conversion management system.The University of Roehampton seeks to appoint a provider who can sustain this valuable and user-friendly service, both to customers and the Universitys internal and external stakeholders.
