Helping International Students Discover Britain, Together.
A fully managed, peer-led day trip programme, built to improve integration, boost satisfaction scores, and generate income for your students' union.
The Challenge
Universities deliver the degree.
Nobody is delivering Britain.
Students don't know where to start
Travel logistics, language barriers and unfamiliar systems stop international students exploring, even when they desperately want to.
Universities lack capacity to run programmes
International offices are stretched. Coordinating transport, guides, bookings and itineraries for cohort-wide trips isn't scalable in-house.
Satisfaction surveys flag integration as underperforming
Social belonging and cultural integration consistently underperform in NSS and HEPI surveys, directly impacting ranking and recruitment.
"94% of international students feel safe and welcome on campus, but only 73% feel that way in the UK more broadly."
HEPI International Student Report, 2025
The Programme
Simple for you. Transformative for your students.
One contract, everything included
A single annual partnership agreement covers 10 curated UK day trips, 50 seats per trip, all logistics, guides, and content. One invoice. Zero internal overhead.
01
You sell the seats, keep the margin
Price seats at whatever works for your students. Every penny above the programme cost stays with your students' union as direct revenue.
02
We run everything, start to finish
Coach hire, student guides, curated itineraries, trip photography and post-trip content. Your students have an unforgettable experience. Your team does nothing extra.
03
10 iconic British destinations, across the academic year
Carefully scheduled around your location, term dates, exam timetables and key academic periods. No clashes, no stress.

Why It Works
Built For Universities.
Loved By Students
Student Compass isn't just a nice-to-have enrichment programme. It's a strategic tool that directly impacts the metrics your senior leadership cares about, from NSS scores to recruitment propositions.
Zero operational lift on your team
We manage every detail of every trip. Your international office doesn't lift a finger after sign-off.
Revenue positive for your students' union
Set your own ticket price. Everything above the annual contract fee is income for your SU, a new, reliable revenue stream.
Fully white-label or co-branded
Run it under your university brand entirely, students associate every trip with you. Or co-brand with Student Compass for faster launch.
Peer-led by trained student guides
Every trip is led by trained student guides, not corporate tour operators. Peers build trust naturally, and create the social atmosphere students actually want.
Directly improves NSS & belonging scores
Cultural integration and belonging feed directly into satisfaction metrics. Student Compass gives you a tangible, evidenced intervention.
