For Tertiary Institutions

Reduce dropouts.
Improve student success.

Give your institution the tools to match incoming students to programmes that truly suit them — reducing dropout rates, improving satisfaction, and building a stronger academic community.

The Challenge

High dropout rates cost institutions dearly

Tertiary institutions across South Africa face a growing dropout crisis. High first-year attrition leads to lost tuition revenue, reputational damage, lower funding allocations, and reduced student satisfaction scores.

The root cause is often a mismatch between student aptitude and programme choice — a problem that begins before students even enrol. The solution is to use psychometric assessments during the admissions process to match students to programmes that genuinely fit their strengths, personality, and interests.

High dropout rates lead to:

  • Significant lost tuition and fee revenue
  • Reputational damage affecting future enrolment
  • Lower DHET funding allocations
  • Increased cost of student support services
  • Lower graduate employment rates and accreditation risk

Timing

When should institutions use FundiMatch?

FundiMatch is most effective when implemented as part of the pre-enrolment or admissions process — before students commit to a specific programme. This allows your institution to guide students toward the best fit before problems develop.

  • During open days and applications
  • As part of admissions requirements
  • During orientation week for first-years
  • As an early-intervention tool for at-risk students
Why FundiMatch

Benefits for your institution

Reduce dropout rates

Match incoming students to programmes that align with their strengths and interests. Students who are well-matched are significantly more likely to complete their studies.

Improve student success

Psychometric insights help students choose programmes suited to their abilities, leading to higher graduation rates and better graduate employment outcomes.

Understand your students

Detailed assessment reports give your academic and support staff deep insight into each student's strengths, weaknesses, and preferred learning styles — enabling personalised support.

Easy integration

FundiMatch is designed to integrate seamlessly into your existing admissions process. Students complete assessments online at their own convenience, and results are available immediately.

Cost-effective intervention

The cost of a psychometric assessment is minimal compared to the revenue loss and reputational damage caused by high dropout rates. The ROI is measurable and significant.

Identify at-risk students early

Spot students whose profile doesn't match their chosen programme before problems develop. Early intervention is dramatically more effective — and less costly — than remediation.
