School, College, and University Virtual Tours Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
We get a lot of questions about our virtual tours for the education sector, so we’ve outlined some common ones below. Can’t find the answer you’re looking for? Just get in touch, or even better, book a video consultation. These sessions help us understand your goals and requirements so we can recommend the best solutions while staying within your budget.
What is a virtual tour for schools, colleges, or universities?
An education virtual tour is an interactive 360 experience that allows prospective students and parents to explore your campus online. It’s designed to show your facilities, classrooms, and outdoor spaces while reflecting your school’s branding and ethos. Our tours help you engage visitors before they ever step on site, building trust from the first web visit.
Why should our school or college have a virtual tour?
A virtual tour helps you reach a wider audience, especially those who can’t visit in person. It supports admissions, open days, and marketing campaigns by giving a realistic sense of your environment. Many schools now use virtual tours as a key part of their digital strategy to increase enquiries and improve engagement.
How much does a school, college, or university virtual tour cost?
Pricing is based on the number of 360 scenes required. Smaller tours often cost under £1,000, while full-campus projects with multiple buildings are quoted individually. We provide transparent pricing, and you can request our education sector pricing guide to estimate your project.
Can we update our virtual tour ourselves?
Yes. When your tour is built with our 360 Studio CMS, you can easily update hotspots, upload new media, or create additional tours for different purposes such as sixth form recruitment or boarding introductions, all without needing technical knowledge.
Can we include videos or student interviews in our virtual tour?
Absolutely. You can add embedded videos, such as welcome messages from staff or students. This creates a more personal and authentic experience for prospective families exploring your school or campus online.
How long does it take to produce a virtual tour for a school?
Most education projects take two to four weeks from the photography shoot to delivery. We work around your term times to minimise disruption, and we always schedule filming at convenient times.
Do you work with schools across the UK?
Yes. We have produced tours for schools, colleges, and universities across the UK, including institutions such as The Perse School, Kew College Prep, Farringtons School, Sparsholt College, and many more. We also travel internationally for educational projects.
Is a virtual tour suitable for open days and admissions events?
Yes. Many schools use their virtual tour as a digital extension of their open days. You can share it on your website, in marketing materials, or via QR codes at events to give families a more interactive experience.
