Case Study: University of Cambridge turns messy admissions data into board-ready outreach recommendations with Multiverse

University of Cambridge turns 50,000+ messy admissions records into outreach recommendations with Multiverse in one day

The University of Cambridge partnered with Multiverse to provide a data analytics hackathon for its apprentices. The challenge was to analyze over 50,000 inconsistent admissions records to identify underrepresented groups being lost during the process and determine where outreach should be focused.

Multiverse's solution involved four teams of apprentices using Excel and Power BI to clean, model, and visualize the data in a single day. The result was a set of evidence-led, board-ready recommendations for targeted outreach, providing the apprentices with a repeatable method for transforming any messy dataset into actionable insights.
