Is detailed programme information important to prospective students? Short answer: Yes. Long answer: Yes, and analytics and user research show us the marketing value of making this information accessible online.
We are shortly doing our first update to the degree finders as part of our future degree finder project.

On 30 April 2024, we hosted an event to showcase the insights we gained from releasing a beta of the new undergraduate programme pages. This post gives a summary of the event, with access to the event slides and recording.
We’re running an online event on Tuesday 30 April to showcase the insights we gathered from running the undergraduate beta – a preview of what undergraduate degree profiles will look like when the new system goes live.

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.
As part of the future degree finder project, we recently ran a series of collaboration workshops with colleagues from across the University. These workshops helped us identify any potential issues and refine our prototype for the future postgraduate taught programme page.
Last year we revisited our search prototype for the new degree finders. We wanted to review it in light of project work we had carried out in the meantime. In this blog post I share what we did to update the prototype.
