Can AI improve enrollment if the student experience doesn't? Clearing 2026 starts in just 2 days in the UK, a period similar to the peak admissions season in other markets, when universities manage a high volume of student enquiries and enrollment decisions.    Higher Education institutions have been facing growing pressure to do more with less.
