Client partnerships
We are proud to work with a wide variety of university, college, and sector partners across the higher education landscape. Focused on always putting students first, we believe in the power of collaboration to drive sustainable growth and support students in achieving their higher education ambitions. Our long-standing relationships with university and college partners are built on trust and a results-driven approach, whilst our sector partnerships are founded on the core principles of supporting prospective students find the right higher education choices for them.
I've worked with IDP over a number of years at several different institutions. I consider them to be a high quality global partner with an innovative omni-channel approach. They combine fresh thinking and cutting-edge technology with a meticulous approach which is essential in a time of disruption and complexity.
