Student well-being is more important than ever when it comes to both academic success and personal growth. At the heart of tackling this challenge is StudentPulse, a platform designed to boost student mental health, engagement, and academic performance. But the story of StudentPulse starts with CompanYoung, the company that helped bring this innovation to life.

CompanYoung has long been dedicated to education and youth recruitment. Through their work, they recognized that while helping students choose the right path was essential, many struggled after they started.

CompanYoung realised that while they were helping students select the right education, many still struggled after starting. This need to understand student well-being from a data perspective led to the creation of StudentPulse, a platform designed to gather actionable insights through regular student check-ins, ultimately enhancing both well-being and academic outcomes.

A Shared Vision for Student Success

CompanYoung’s years of experience in youth recruitment revealed something crucial: student success isn’t just about academics. They saw firsthand that emotional and mental health challenges significantly impacted students’ performance, retention, and overall experience.

We saw a gap in how institutions were addressing these challenges. It wasn’t enough to guide students into the right education; we needed a way to support them throughout their academic journey.
Nikolaj Higham Schlüter, Director of CompanYoung

This vision led to a powerful partnership. StudentPulse delivers a tech-driven solution that lets institutions monitor both student well-being and academic experience, while CompanYoung brings their deep understanding of education to help schools implement the platform in a way that drives both academic and personal growth.

Technology Meets Expertise

The strength of this partnership lies in the combination of cutting-edge technology and real-world expertise. StudentPulse provides real-time data on student well-being and academic experiences, giving institutions the ability to respond quickly and meaningfully. On the other side, CompanYoung works hand-in-hand with institutions to ensure the platform is seamlessly integrated into their daily operations. This collaboration empowers educators and leaders to act on student feedback in ways that truly foster growth and improvement.

Extending Support with the Students’ Psychological Safety Net

To further enhance student support, StudentPulse integrates a unique layer of care: the Students' Psychological Safety Net. Supported by leading psychologists, this service offers peer-to-peer counseling, where MSc psychology students provide relatable, accessible help to their peers. The result? Timely, cost-effective emotional support that scales with the institution's needs. By addressing key issues like stress and anxiety, this safety net helps students stay focused on their studies, improving both well-being and academic success.

A Transformative Impact on Institutions

This partnership isn’t just about software. CompanYoung and StudentPulse have created a new way for institutions to truly engage with their students. Since launching the collaboration, over 50 institutions across Denmark have adopted StudentPulse, seeing measurable improvements in retention, well-being, and engagement. With real-time insights at their fingertips, schools are now able to take proactive steps to address student challenges before they escalate.

We’ve seen institutions embrace a more student-centred approach to well-being, thanks to the real-time insights provided by StudentPulse. The platform enables schools to respond to issues quickly, improving both student experiences and overall performance.

A Partnership Built on Purpose

At the heart of this collaboration is one simple belief: every student deserves the opportunity to thrive. Combining the innovation of StudentPulse with the educational expertise of CompanYoung is setting a new standard for how institutions approach student well-being and academic success.

Our partnership isn’t just about technology or consultancy. It’s about changing how institutions think about and support their students, ensuring both their well-being and academic success.
