AI agents for business school admissions
At a business school, an applicant compares the undergraduate degree, the master’s in management and the MSc programmes, wonders whether to start in first year or top up an HND, and wants to know if a degree apprenticeship covers the fees.
Hi Olivia, you asked for our business degree brochure. Any questions I can help with?
I’m finishing an HND in Business. Can I top up to a full degree with you?
That’s the top-up route. Published steps: application, transcript check, then interview.
Can I do it as an apprenticeship instead?
The school publishes a degree apprenticeship route for this year. Shall I send the details?
Yes please, and I’d like to talk to someone.
Happy to. Can the admissions team call you on this number tomorrow at 5 pm?

Applications, assessments and deadlines
Many schools recruit through the central application service, their own application form or a shared assessment with other schools. The agent explains each step (application, tests, interview, offer) as you describe it and always points to the official platform to apply. It never promises an offer.
Apprenticeships, fees and funding
Degree apprenticeships, finding an employer, employer-funded fees, scholarships, student loans: these questions often decide an application. The agent answers from what you publish. When the answer depends on the applicant’s situation, it offers a conversation with the team.
A brief ready for follow-up
The CRM receives the entry route, programme, campus, study mode and intake, the questions already answered and the level of interest. The team knows who to call first and where to pick up the conversation.
Frequently asked questions
Can the agent answer questions about tuition fees?
Yes, from the information you publish. When the answer depends on the applicant’s profile, it offers a conversation with the team.
Does the agent handle several campuses?
Yes. It identifies the campus the applicant wants and passes it to the CRM, so the lead reaches the right team.
Does the agent answer international applicants?
Yes, in the applicant’s language. It presents English-taught tracks, dual degrees and exchange semesters as you describe them.
Can the agent get our entry tests and interviews wrong?
It answers only from your knowledge base. If there is no published answer, it says so and passes the question to your team. It always points to the official application platform.
