Targeting Academics

• 4.7 million further education students in the United Kingdom during the academic year 2002/03
• 2.4 million [988,200 part-time] higher education students in the United Kingdom in the academic year 2002/03

Targeting Academic decision-makers is a complex task. Lecturers are multi-subject specialists who deliver modules at a number of campuses and sites. D2 offers comprehensive coverage of this highly lucrative but complex market. Users can target every UK FE, HE College and University and select Academic teaching staff by Job Function (Heads, Professors, Lecturers and Research Staff), by specific course, module or course type (e.g. Bachelor, Masters Degrees, DipHEs as well as Foundation Degrees, HNDs and Post Graduate courses).

With an almost limitless combination of course content now available, producing a definitive list-of-lists would be difficult to achieve. We prefer prospective users to contact us directly so we can discuss their requirements. This enables D2 to provide accurate and relevant list counts and a tailored solution. Please call 01634 263626 NOW, to discuss your requirements in more detail.
