Whether you’re heading into a deadline crunch or facing resourcing gaps, UniQuest’s short-term solutions provide fast, flexible, high-quality support; live in days, not weeks
UniQuest’s short-term solutions give universities immediate access to skilled support during peak times or urgent projects. Designed for flexibility and speed, our services are tailored to your needs and built for impact, without the overheads of hiring or long onboarding.
Clearing and peak cycle support
Whether it’s increasing conversion rates, reducing melt, or boosting enrolments in priority markets, we shape our approach around your targets and adapt in-cycle.
Admissions locums
Fully trained professionals ready within two weeks to process decisions, assess scholarships, or clear pre-CAS backlogs, directly in your systems, with no long-term commitment.
Enquiry management
We handle high-volume inbound queries via email, phone, WhatsApp, Live Chat, or bespoke forms, freeing up your team to focus on priority tasks.
How we support universities
We work with higher education institutions of all shapes and sizes, from Russell Group and Post-92's to niche and specialist schools.
The UQ Admissions Locums services was key to us being able to manage and improve our turnarounds during the peak undergraduate application period. With the support of UQ Admissions Locums, we saw a 30% improvement in turn-around-times vs the same period in the prior year. Our UQ Admissions Locums were enthusiastic, knowledgeable, excellent team-players and onboarded extremely quickly. We would definitely use the service again and recommend it to other institutions.
