Case Study: University of Pécs achieves streamlined admissions and increased international applications with DreamApply

How DreamApply revolutionised the whole process of student recruitment

The University of Pécs, Hungary’s oldest university (founded in 1367) with 10 faculties and about 20,000 students including 4,500 international students, faced fragmented admissions processes: faculties used separate systems, email-based file collection, or bespoke IT solutions. To centralize and professionalize recruitment and application handling, the University of Pécs adopted DreamApply as its application management system.

DreamApply delivered a single, user-friendly platform that consolidated different faculty workflows, reduced applicant phone calls and emails, and provided built-in marketing and reporting tools to generate actionable recruitment data. As a result, the University of Pécs achieved clearer, more efficient application handling, improved usability for administrators and applicants, and measurable year-on-year growth in applications (Jan–Feb 2019 vs Jan–Feb 2018) while gaining better region- and program-level recruitment insights thanks to DreamApply.
