Our purpose
With an average of 6 in every 100 (6.7%) students dropping out of university in the UK and rising (source: Debut Careers), Presto Student’s goal is to help improve rates of retention and progression.
Whatever it is that makes a student think about dropping out, it is important to take the time to investigate the reasons why and the support options available before a student confirms their decision to leave.
With Presto Student, users keep a clear overview of their attendance and progress, which can help them to identify problems as soon as they arise, providing an early warning sign of deteriorations in attendance, engagement and/or achievement. Armed with this data, students can continue to study, adjusting their approach and seeking the right assistance from their university.

The platform lets students engage with their fellow students and their university, helping to create a feeling of being more connected to their educational experience, improving retention rates and the positive experience of the student journey.
