University Compare, a cross-platform higher education comparison service that helps universities and students connect, is now seeking £250,000 through equity crowdfunding platform Seedrs.
Founded in 2012, University Compare displays university statistics, student reviews, and personalized choices to help students decide which course to choose when applying to university. The platform stated its service helps sixth-formers make a better-informed decision through a suite of tools before entering into higher education.
“We’re able to offer a realistic perspective on the university experience. University Compare specialises in gaining reviews from former and current students who share their experiences online; they give a great insight into university life, similar to the reviews on TripAdvisor.”
University Compare noted that it works with many universities, ranging from Russell Group to University Alliance. It was also revealed:
“University Compare helps prospective university students find the right uni via a collection of university reviews and student advice. Helping students choose what uni they wish to go to. Use our degree course search, university open day calendar and our famous UCAS points and student finance calculator.”
The company reported it is planning to release its new mobile app shortly. All funds from the Seedrs funding round will go towards continuing growth of University Compare’s platform. The campaign is set to close later this spring.
