Helping Institutions Improve Shouldn't Cost a Kingdom

We built AppliedHE for universities tired of expensive consultants, generic reports, and rankings that miss the point. Practical tools. Real support. Results you can see.

The Reality

We're Not Here to Sell You Another Report.

Let's be honest.

You've seen the consulting proposals. Six figures for a diagnosis you already knew. A thick deck. A SWOT analysis. Some recommendations. And then? They move on to the next client.

"Meanwhile, you're left with a PDF and no one to help you actually do anything with it."

We started AppliedHE because we believed universities deserved better.

  • Better Tools
  • Better Support
  • Better Value

Not consultants who disappear, but partners who stay.

For University Leaders

If This Sounds Like You,
You're in the Right Place.

"I know we need to improve employability, but I don't have data to know where to start."

"Our alumni network exists on paper, but it doesn't deliver anything meaningful."

"Traditional consulting is out of our budget. We need something practical."

"We're a strong institution, but rankings never seem to reflect what we're good at."

These are the conversations we've had hundreds of times. They're exactly why we built what we built.

Our Solutions

Three Challenges. One Shared Vision. The 3M Consulting Package.

Stop guessing. Our rankings and ratings give you clarity on employability, satisfaction, and outcomes. We rank public and private universities separately because both matter.

You get two reports: one to improve internally, one to market externally.

Our Manifesto

We Built This Because
Standards Matter.

We believe higher education deserves metrics that reflect reality, not just history.

01

Private universities deserve the same spotlight.

Most rankings favor research-heavy public institutions. We created separate tables because excellence comes in many forms.

02

Student voices should be at the center.

We don't just count publications. We ask students and alumni what their experience was actually like.

03

Tools should be usable, not just impressive.

We build things universities can actually implement, not shelve.

04

Support shouldn't end when the invoice is paid.

We share insights. We share experience. We walk the journey with you.

05

Asia's universities are ready to lead.

We built AppliedHE for this region, by people who understand it. This is our home.
