Updates on the management of degree programme content.

We’re running an open invite event on Microsoft Teams to share what we learned through staff engagement and user research about the University’s flexible study options. This includes the part-time intermittent (sometimes called ‘Invoiced at Course Level’) route to a postgraduate award and its overlap with other flexible study options. Join us to learn more […]

Join us on Wednesday 22nd January to watch school editors using the new degree programme editorial interface.

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.

I recently ran an open invite session review for our latest round of usability testing. Normally I run these sessions within our team, but we wanted to involve colleagues across the University in our work to improve the editorial experience. It was also an opportunity for school editors to see the new degree programme editorial […]

We recently started work on a project to explore the presentation of the Invoiced at Course Level route to study for a postgraduate award. This user research and business analysis piece will help us understand how to best present this route to study in future.

As we are about to embark on our final round of software development, leading into a launch of the new service from March 2025, I thought this was a good point to look back on what we’ve achieved so far and what’s coming next.

Join us on Wednesday 16 October 14.00-16.30 to watch school editors using the new degree programme editorial interface.

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. Over the course of the summer, a couple of changes are happening to the undergraduate and postgraduate degree finders to make our transition to EdWeb 2 and the new degree finders as smooth as possible.

Testing what we develop with prospective students is fundamental to delivering a new website that is easy to use and meets their needs.  I’ve been responsible for making sure the team gets regular sight of students interacting with our work-in-progress through the course of the development leading up to our beta release.
