"Match with Your Future"
The University Exploration Platform for High School Students

Insights

Are you ready to build a platform that will transform the way Albanian youth discover their academic paths? Your mission is to design a smart application or an interactive platform that helps high school students (ages 15–18) explore their passions, match with the most suitable university programs, and envision their academic future.

Your solution should:

  • Match personal interests and passions with career paths and academic programs offered by private universities in Albania, using intelligent algorithms and data-driven recommendations.

  • Include gamification elements such as quizzes, challenges, and personality tests to make the exploration process more engaging and fun, encouraging students to actively participate and learn more about themselves.

  • Offer virtual campus tours and immersive glimpses into student life, using 360° videos, interactive maps, and student testimonials to help students experience university environments remotely.

  • Provide personalized content and guidance based on each student’s interests, strengths, and aspirations, including articles, video interviews, and tailored advice from academic advisors and career counselors.

  • Enable direct communication between high school students and current university students (“student-to-student chat”), as well as the option to schedule campus visits with their parents, fostering a supportive and informative environment for decision-making.

Think of this platform as an “Academic Matching” experience for Albanian high schoolers:
A dynamic journey where, based on their unique interests and profiles, students discover their ideal match among private universities in Albania.

Additional Features and Details:

  • Interactive Dashboard: A personalized dashboard where students can track their progress, save favorite programs, and receive notifications about upcoming events, deadlines, and new content.

  • Career Pathways Explorer: Visual tools that map out potential career trajectories based on selected university programs, including required skills, job market trends, and alumni success stories.

  • Parent Portal: A dedicated section for parents to access resources, FAQs, and guidance on supporting their children through the university selection process.

  • Event Calendar: Integration of university open days, webinars, and workshops, allowing students to register and participate directly through the platform.

Feedback and Analytics: Tools for students to provide feedback on their experience, and analytics for universities to understand student interests and engagement patterns‍
Goal:‍To create, for the first time in Albania, an intelligent, entertaining, and user-friendly pathway that brings university life closer to high school students, reducing uncertainty and empowering them to make informed decisions about their academic futures.
