We’ve recently finished development on our postgraduate programme content types for the new degree finder. We are now sharing a preview of the different sections, guidance and formatting for them.

We audited postgraduate study website content this summer and worked with colleagues responsible for it to follow our audit findings around consolidating and improving our web estate.

Following designing the new degree finder programme pages, we turned our attention to auditing the undergraduate study site. Our aim was to figure out what content should remain on the site given content changes we have made to undergraduate programme pages.

On 25 March 2024, we hosted an update event on the progress our team has made in designing the new postgraduate research page template for the new degree finder. This post gives a summary of the event, with access to the event slides and recording.

We’re running an online event on Monday 25 March to share our latest work on developing the new postgraduate research programme page. Come along to see our work-in-progress prototype and give feedback on our work.
