Background and context
In September 2023, we launched a beta showing what undergraduate degree profiles will look like when the new system goes live.
We published three preview pages for these undergraduate degrees:
- Chemistry BSc (Hons)
- French and English Literature MA (Hons)
- Veterinary Medicine BVM&S
Launching a beta enabled us to
- leave people to interact with the pages organically
- run analytics on the pages for a reasonably long period of time to learn from a much larger group
- enable users to rate and comment on their experience and opinion of the new design
- undertake more natural usability testing sessions with live content fully integrated into the website.
