  PRIORITY LISTS - SOUTH ASIA (NOT PAKISTAN)

  Following my meeting this morning with Shruti and Mirza from the NTU South Asia team we have agreed to several measures that will speed up decision making and importantly improve conversion from C2C to the University.

  PRIORITY LIST

  Every Wednesday I will send a priority list to Shruti and her team of C2C students who have applied and are waiting for a decision.  

  I will require you to email me (not text) the following information if you want your student to be added to the priority list:

  Student First Name

  Student Family Name

  Student Mobile number

  NTU application ID number

  Course Applied for

  Date of application submission

  Any comments you want NTU to be aware of

  If you want to have your student included in the list you need to email me by TUESDAY each week. I will copy any counsellor into the priority list I send so you are aware it is in progress.

  It is so important that you only submit applications which have all the documents and in particular the SOP detailing why they want to study this course, why NTU, how it will assist their career.  There should be no gaps in CVs.  Do NOT submit incomplete applications, just wait until the student has given you everything required before submission as incomplete applications will not be processed.

   

  Phone calls to students on priority list

  Note that the NTU team will call students on the priority list.  This is to help convert them to NTU by answering any questions that they might have on their application, the university or the city.  Please let your students know to expect this call so they can be ready with any questions.

   

  WHATSAPP GROUP NTU & C2C

  I have set up two WhatsApp Groups with relevant NTU staff, one for South Asia and the other for Sub saharan Africa.  If you are not in one of these groups please contact me so that I can add you. 

   

• Commission(%): 10% - 20%
• Commission(Additional Information):

  Message from NTU to small agents:

  We believe that by working together we can achieve the ambitions of the University, our students, and your organisation.

  With this in mind, I am pleased to confirm that for the next academic year 2024/2025 we will be changing our commission structure.

  Our new commission structure for 2024/2025 entry:

  1-19 recruited Students (annually) 15% of the first year Tuition Fee

  20 - 49 recruited Students (annually) 17.5% of the first year Tuition Fee

  50+ recruited Students (annually) 20% of the first year Tuition Fee

  15% of the PEAP Fee for the duration of the Course

  We have increased our commission rate for anyone who recruits in the range of 1 - 30 students with the aim of supporting our smaller to medium partners and to continue to help promote diversity in our NTU student community.

  The commission structure is based on the total number of students you recruit across both the September and January intake. Therefore, if you recruit 19 students in September and 3 for January, we will top up the previous 19 payments to match the higher percentage rate. So, you would receive 17.5% of the first-year tuition fee for each student recruited. Please note that any partial payments also count towards these numbers.

  Another point to remember is that if your students are awarded a scholarship this will not impact your commission, we will always pay commission on the full tuition fee amount.

  £800 may be paid for direct applicants or students who change agents. An Agent Nomination Form must be completed and submitted by the student (see Agent Nomination Form in the upload document section).

  VAT may be added to commission invoices
