Quotes from existing Unitu Customers

“It saves time in collating the information, especially with the AI tool, that was the biggest saving. I'd reviewed all the feedback and created the agenda - a job that would have taken me all day.”- Sarita Robinson, Associate Dean, University of Central Lancashire

Over the last 18 months, we have introduced Unitu, the online student feedback platform, which has enabled us to respond to student feedback in real-time and allowed us to close the feedback loop. Unitu, along with working in close partnership with the University and the hard work of staff has been key to this year’s result.- Head of Membership Services at Wrexham Glyndwr Students’ Union

Our NSS scores on Student Voice were fantastic this year, I think Unitu has played a big part in that as the change was biggest in our college where we use it most actively.- Patricia Xavier, Engineering College Student Engagement Lead, University of Swansea.

“On a macro level across an institution, the whole university can see where issues have occurred.”- Matt Rowley, Department Manager, LSE Department of Law

“Student feedback is vital to the University. We support our students and we want them to do well. We use Unitu to help students to provide feedback to ensure that we are delivering to our values. Whether the news is good or bad or we can do things better. It’s really important we receive feedback from our students”- Dr. Philip Hallam, CEO, Arden University

'Unitu gives us the ability to see patterns of feedback that appear not only across departments and faculties, but across the institution as a whole. This insight could be used to inform broader policy and operational approaches, identify solutions that are of genuine relevance to students and focus on the enhancements that deliver the most impact to the student experience.' Chris Neil, UCL, Head of UCL Engineering’s Digital Innovation Unit
