About Us

OpinionPanel is the independent research business set up to represent the views of students and young people to social and market researchers, policy makers and recruiters.

Founded in 2004, we own and manage the UK's largest specialist panel of students before, during and after their time at university: The Future Panel, The Student Panel, The Graduate Panel and, privately The Learner Panel for the Learning and Skills Council (LSC).

Our services run from basic sample provision to detailed full-service projects incorporating qualitative and quantitative methods. By blending our knowledge of students, higher education and commercial marketing with access to our market-leading panels and sector knowledge, we bring a fresh and insightful approach to all the clients we serve.

A commitment to high-quality research is at the heart of our business. We are an MRS Company Partner and are working towards ISO 20252 certification. We believe we have the best panel recruitment in the business and we have clearly responded to ESOMARs 26 questions for panel owners.
