Three ways to partner with PathIQ
Students use PathIQ to try careers through simulations and then see degrees related to those careers. Choose the option that fits your university.
Option A
Free degree listings
For admissions and student recruitment teams
List your degrees at no upfront listing fee, so students who explore a related career can find your courses.
Option B
PathIQ for your enrolled students
For student experience and careers teams
Give enrolled students career simulations to help them think through study decisions. This is a paid institutional offering.
Option C
License the simulation engine
For digital, technology, marketing and admissions teams
License the simulation technology and agree an integration into your own website or digital experiences.
Indicative licence of $50,000 per year, including 1,500 API simulations.
Option A
List your degrees on PathIQ for free
There is no upfront listing fee. This is the simplest way to start, and you do not need to book a sales demo to ask.
Students find your degrees through careers
Students on PathIQ take a career quiz and try career simulations. When a student finishes a simulation, PathIQ lists degrees related to that career, with entry details such as ATAR ranges where we hold them.
Courses are matched to careers
Each degree is linked to careers through career tags, and our team can also map a degree to specific simulations. Degrees that relate to the career a student just explored are shown first. Other degrees stay available to browse.
Students go to your course page
Where a course page address is supplied, each listing links to your university's own page, which opens in a new tab. Students read the full details on your site.
How you send us course information
You can offer your course details by API, as a data file or by manual submission. Tell us which you prefer in the form and we will arrange it with you. Our team loads the data and checks it.
- API
- Data file
- Manual submission
Optional referral arrangement
A success-based referral arrangement is available by agreement: a 10% fee for successful placements, subject to agreed attribution and contract terms. It is separate from the free listing, and you can list your degrees without it.
Option B
PathIQ for your enrolled students
Provide PathIQ to enrolled students so they can experience careers related to their studies before they make further decisions about their degree.
Who it helps
- Students who are not sure they chose the right degree
- Students who are uncertain about their future career options
- Students thinking about changing majors or specialisations
- Students who lack a practical sense of the careers related to their studies
- Careers teams who need better information to support these decisions
How it works
Students complete career simulations, then see their results and feedback. They can use that experience when they think about whether to continue, change or specialise.
Your careers team can use what students share and their results as a starting point for conversations. Institution accounts include a view for careers staff, and the details your team sees are agreed when access is set up.
Example only
An enrolled business student might look at careers in consulting, finance and marketing, try a simulation for each where one is available, and compare how each felt before choosing a major. The careers with simulations depend on the current library.
A paid institutional offering
Pricing depends on student numbers, access and simulation usage. We agree it with you after a short conversation.
Option C
License the PathIQ simulation engine
For digital transformation, technology, marketing and admissions teams. License the simulation technology so prospective students can try careers on your own website or digital platform and see how they connect to your degrees.
Scope, features and integrations are tailored to each university and agreed per licence. We will tell you plainly what can be supported before you commit.
Integration
We agree with your technology team how simulations connect to your website or digital platform, including any API work.
University-branded experiences
Prospective students could complete simulations in your own digital environment. The branding and design are tailored to scope.
Connection to your degrees
A career experience can lead students to the degrees you offer that relate to it.
Reporting and analytics
Included where supported, and agreed per licence.
This is separate from free degree listings
A free listing puts your degrees on PathIQ. A licence is a commercial agreement to bring PathIQ simulations into your own digital experiences. You can do either, or both.
Indicative pricing
$50,000 per year
An annual API licence in AUD, excluding GST. Pricing is indicative until the licensing model is finalised, and scope, timing and terms are confirmed in a written proposal.
- Annual API licence
- $50,000
- Included API simulations
- 1,500 per year
- Additional API simulations
- $8 each
- Standard integration (one-off)
- Typically $15,000, confirmed after scoping
- Complex integration work
- Quoted separately
Final pricing depends on
- Integration scope
- Features required
- Number of users
- Included simulation usage
- Additional usage and overages
- Hosting and support requirements

From career simulation to your course page
This is the path a student takes on PathIQ when a university lists its degrees.
- Step 1
Career simulation
A student tries a realistic career, task by task.
- Step 2
Student insights
Their results and feedback show how the work suited them.
- Step 3
Relevant degrees
Degrees related to that career are listed.
- Step 4
University course page
The student follows the link to the university's own course page.
Independent recommendations and university-branded experiences
On the independent PathIQ platform, career and degree suggestions come from a student's own quiz and simulation results. Degrees are ordered by how closely they relate to the career the student explored, then by university and degree name. A university that lists degrees or pays for another PathIQ offering does not receive preferential career-fit recommendations there.
A university-branded experience is a separate product that a university licenses for its own website or students. It is built around that university's degrees, so it is not an independent recommendation.
