Technical Report: StuRevu

StuRevu’s mission is to allow current students and graduates to provide advice to prospective students and feedback to Educational Institutions. The aim is to provide this functionality through the means of an Android App.

The main problems StuRevu is attempting to address are the student dropout rates in third level education and the lack of awareness of the differences in graduate unemployment rates between different graduate employment areas. These can be caused by a lack of information available to prospective students regarding their chosen college or course.

StuRevu will strive to help solve these problems by creating a central, independent database of advice and information. It will basically facilitate peer recommendations in the education market and may evolve into a communication/CRM tool for the education community to more closely connect staff, students and alumni.
