Admissions Self-Assessment

Know where your admissions function sits. In twenty minutes.

A free tool for higher education providers who want a quick, honest read on where their admissions function sits against current regulatory and practice expectations.

Around forty questions, structured across the five domains Think Bold uses in the full Diagnostic Review: regulatory compliance, policy and governance, process and operations, team capability, and applicant experience. At the end, you get a snapshot showing where you’re strong, where the risks sit, and what’s worth prioritising.

Twenty minutes. No commitment.

What you’ll get

  • A structured self-assessment covering five domains and around forty questions
  • A scored snapshot of your function against current good practice
  • A flag on the highest-priority areas to investigate
  • A summary you can share with senior leadership or governance colleagues

Who it’s for

Higher education providers who want:

  • An informed view of their admissions function without commissioning a review
  • A starting point before deciding whether to invest in deeper diagnostic work
  • A baseline to revisit annually as their function changes
  • Something credible to take into committee, governance, or a leadership conversation

Going deeper

The self-assessment is a snapshot, not a review. It surfaces where to look. It can’t tell you exactly what to do.

For institutions that want a deeper view of their function, the Admissions Diagnostic Review is the right next step. Particularly useful where the self-assessment flags significant concerns or where governance, regulator, or leadership conversations require external scrutiny.
