Retention
Students who feel genuinely supported stay. Wellbeing visibility at scale is one of the most underleveraged retention levers in UK higher education.
For universities
Unilume gives institutions an anonymised, real-time view of student wellbeing, surfacing trends before early warning signs become late-stage crises.

Cohort intelligence
Universities receive a fully anonymised, cohort-level view of student wellbeing, generated from the same Composite Wellbeing Index students use.
A minimum group-size reporting threshold is built into the methodology by design. Individual students cannot be identified from anything the institution sees.
What you see
Aggregated wellbeing scores across cohorts, faculties, or year groups, updated as students engage.
What you never see
Individual student scores, responses, or identities. The minimum group-size threshold means very small cohorts are never exposed.
Built-in protection
Student mental health disclosure rates remain critically low because students don't trust that speaking up won't follow them. Unilume is designed from the ground up so that trust is never required. Students benefit without having to disclose anything to anyone.
“Only 4.5% of struggling students disclose a mental health condition to their university.”
OfS Insight 20, (Oct 2023)
The 95.5% who don't disclose still generate signal through Unilume.
Why it matters
Wellbeing trends that once surfaced only through declining attendance, falling grades, or formal disclosures are identified earlier by Unilume at the cohort level, enabling welfare teams to respond proactively and purposefully.

Gain early visibility into emerging demand, helping counselling teams plan resources thoughtfully and respond where support is most needed.
UK universities face increasing expectations around student welfare. Unilume helps institutions demonstrate active, evidence-informed care.
We're working with a small group of early institutions. If you'd like to understand how unilume could work at your university, get in touch.
