Google Analytics for Higher Education
Know what works and what needs improvement on your website and in your digital campaigns.
About this course
- Are you getting the best possible result from your online campaigns?
- Are particular pages on your website acting as road blocks?
- Is the agency that runs your campaigns telling you the whole story?
You can answer each of these questions with Google Analytics. When you're proficient in Google Analytics, you won't be at the mercy of whatever information you're given: you can go and get your own.
That is: IF you know how to interpret the data. Because Google Analytics can be overwhelming.
This course will focus on Google Analytics as it applies to Higher Education. We won't go any deeper into technical details than we absolutely have to to get actionable insights that will help you get more out of your marketing efforts.
If you like, I'll even help you to set up goal tracking and reports, so that you can keep the pulse of your institution's student recruitment efforts.
Learning Goals

Testimonials
Shen Li
The training is very tailored to marketing staff at HEI's. I believe there will be more questions coming up while diving in GA to monitor the performance and adjust the goal, but this fundamental course explained the basic and practical functions of GA to make a kick start.
The step-by-step learning by doing to set up the goals for conversion was very useful; and understand where to look for what type of information to understand the data as well. As it can be somewhat confusing to look at data in GA without sufficient knowledge and a clear vision of what to look at.

Noortje de Kort
During the course, we had a tailored look into our online activities with an experienced online marketeer specialized in online marketing for the HE sector.
The course helped us understand what we can measure, how to do it and to identify (quick) wins.
The practice within Google Analytics itself, getting familiar with the different things and setups was most useful for me.
