Najczęstsze pytania

Masz pytania? Mamy odpowiedzi

Czy mogę używać UniStart i UNiDAYS jednocześnie?

Oczywiście! Służą do różnych celów:

  • UniStart: Wsparcie na uczelni + Student Finance + zniżki + marketplace
  • UNiDAYS: Więcej kodów rabatowych marek

Wykorzystaj UniStart do aplikacji i marketplace, a po zapisaniu się na studia dorzuć UNiDAYS dla dodatkowych zniżek markowych.

Dlaczego nie mogę wystawić swojej firmy na UNiDAYS lub StudentBeans?

UNiDAYS i StudentBeans działają w modelu B2B, współpracują wyłącznie z uznanymi markami na podstawie formalnych umów partnerskich. Indywidualni studenci i małe firmy nie mogą się tam wystawić.

UniStart działa inaczej, zbudowaliśmy marketplace właśnie po to, by studenci-przedsiębiorcy mogli oferować swoje usługi i produkty. Wystawienie jest bezpłatne, a Ty sam ustalasz ceny i zniżki.

Czy UniStart ma zniżki markowe jak inne platformy?

Tak! UniStart oferuje zniżki studenckie jak UNiDAYS i StudentBeans.

Różnica: UniStart DODATKOWO daje:

  • • Marketplace studencki (wystaw swój biznes)
  • • Wsparcie aplikacyjne na uczelnie
  • • Wsparcie w Student Finance

Dostajesz więc zniżki PLUS te dodatkowe funkcje, których inne platformy nie oferują.

Czy Totum jest wart pieniędzy, skoro inne są bezpłatne?

Tylko jeśli regularnie robisz zakupy w Co-op lub potrzebujesz fizycznej legitymacji studenckiej.

10% zniżki Totum w Co-op może zwrócić roczną opłatę £14,99 w 2-3 miesiące, jeśli wydajesz tam ok. £40 miesięcznie. Ale jeśli nie korzystasz z Co-op, trzymaj się bezpłatnych platform (UniStart, UNiDAYS, StudentBeans).

Dlaczego mam używać UniStart, skoro UNiDAYS ma więcej partnerstw markowych?

UniStart jest zaprojektowany jako kompletna platforma studencka oparta na trzech filarach:

  1. Wsparcie aplikacyjne na uczelnie: Bezpłatne wsparcie osobistego doradcy i kompleksowe doradztwo w sprawie Student Finance przez całą drogę aplikacyjną
  2. Marketplace studencki: Połącz się z innymi studentami oferującymi usługi w fotografii, korepetycjach, designie i więcej, unikalny marketplace oparty na społeczności
  3. Możliwości biznesowe: Uruchom i promuj swój studencki side hustle, by dotrzeć do klientów w społeczności studenckiej

UNiDAYS świetnie sprawdza się w partnerstwach markowych, a UniStart łączy zniżki z narzędziami potrzebnymi, by dostać się na uczelnię i odnaleźć się jako student. Możesz korzystać z obu platform jednocześnie, UniStart na całą drogę studencką, UNiDAYS na dodatkowe pokrycie marek.

Gotowy, aby rozpocząć drogę na uczelnię?

Zacznij od kompletnej platformy: bezpłatne wsparcie aplikacyjne UniStart, doradztwo w sprawie Student Finance, zniżki i marketplace studencki.
