AI agents for engineering school admissions

At an engineering school, every applicant arrives with a different background: maths and physics at school, a foundation year, an HNC or HND, or a degree in another subject.

I’ve got an HNC in Electrical Engineering. Can I join the degree in year two?

That’s advanced entry. Published procedure: application and transcripts, then interview.

Can I do the degree as an apprenticeship?

The brochure lists embedded systems as an apprenticeship route. Shall I send it?

Yes. Do I need an employer before the course starts?

The admissions team can help with that. May they contact you? What’s your email?

Illustrative example

They want to know which entry route fits, whether they need the foundation year and whether the degree exists as an apprenticeship. Skolbot agents answer from your documentation, qualify the profile and pass the context to the admissions team.

One entry route per profile

First-year entry, an integrated foundation year, advanced entry after an HNC or HND, a conversion master’s after another degree: the agent identifies the applicant’s background and presents the route that fits, with the dates you publish.

  • School leavers: first year or integrated foundation year
  • No maths or physics at advanced level: foundation year
  • HNC or HND: advanced entry into year two or three
  • International applicants: dedicated procedure

Specialisms and technical content

Cybersecurity, energy, mechanical, data, embedded systems: the agent explains specialisms, projects and career paths from your module descriptions and brochures. The more precise your content, the more precise its answers.

Apprenticeships, placements and accreditation

Time with the employer, apprentice pay, fees covered, placement years, compulsory study abroad: the agent answers from what you publish. It presents accreditation as you describe it and never promises a qualification the school does not award.

A brief ready for the team

Background, entry route, target specialism, student or apprentice status and intake reach the CRM with a summary of the conversation.

Frequently asked questions

Can the agent explain specialisms?

Yes, from your programme pages and brochures. The more precise your content, the more precise its answers.

How does the agent handle the central application service?

It informs and guides the applicant. The official procedure stays the one of the central application service for the programmes concerned.

Does the agent explain degree apprenticeships?

Yes: rhythm, status, pay and fees, from your content. For finding an employer, it points the applicant to the team.

What if the agent gives a wrong date?

The agent gives only the dates and procedures in your knowledge base. If it cannot find the information, it says so and passes the question to your team. It always points to the official procedure.

At 11:47 pm, Léa, seventeen, is looking for a school. An advert takes her to a website, but a fifteen-field form stops her. Six hours pass: she is not in any CRM. The same night starts again with Skolbot. At 1:12 am, she asks about placement years and gets an immediate answer. She leaves her first name and number. In the morning, her record and a summary of the conversation are waiting in the CRM. Today, Léa starts her course.
