What we do

We are The Discov. The world's first unbiased digital study counsellor, using data to facilitate an optimal match between student and university. Our beyond-the-classroom matchmaking solution ensures students go to a university that meets all their needs, and universities receive students that thrive.

​

Our matchmaking platform solution provides unbiased, data-driven study advice to students based on their academic interests, but also their non-academic preferences, personality, budget and lifestyle. Our algorithm considers all English-taught programs at all universities (currently in the Netherlands) and is thereby completely independent from any individual higher education institution.

  • First point of contact for student communication

  • Support and train our AI-driven study consultant

  • Social Media management and promotion

  • Analyse trends on customer behaviour and provide recommendations for improvement
