DrupalCamp Scotland, Scotland’s annual conference about all things Drupal, is happening on Friday 7 November here at the University, and this year I’ll be presetning about our project to rebuild the degree finder.

In 2021 I created a diagram of the people, processes and systems surrounding the Degree Finders to help inform our technical planning and communication to stakeholders.

We worked to support our Admissions Service colleagues by developing a new web interface to display degree programmes in clearing, following agile principles and a user-centred process.
