Impact of UK Postgraduate Student Experiences on Academic Performance in Blended Learning: A Data Analytics Approach

This work is like putting a ‘Fitbit’ on a blended learning master’s program: it tracks different aspects of students’ experience (online and in-person) and then uses data analytics to see which factors are most strongly linked to their grades.

Executive Brief

Business Problem Solved

Universities run blended postgraduate programs without clear, data-backed insight into which parts of the student experience (e.g., online tools, teaching methods, support services, workload, assessment design) actually drive academic success. This research uses analytics to identify which experiences matter most for performance, so institutions can redesign courses and support systems more effectively.

Value Drivers

Improves academic outcomes by focusing resources on the student experience factors most correlated with performanceReduces wasted investment in low-impact teaching tools or interventionsSupports evidence-based curriculum and policy decisions in blended and online learningEnhances student satisfaction and retention via targeted improvementsProvides defensible analytics for accreditation, quality assurance, and strategy

Strategic Moat

Domain-specific educational data and survey instruments capturing nuanced aspects of UK postgraduate blended learning, plus analytic know‑how on linking these to performance outcomes.

Differentiation Factor

Focus on UK postgraduate students in blended learning with an explicit, data-analytic linkage between detailed experience measures and academic performance, rather than generic satisfaction analytics or undergrad-only studies.
