Back in the summer, I surveyed the student recruitment and marketing community about the website and digital service improvements that would have greatest value for their work. The results of this survey have helped our steering group set priorities for the coming year.

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. I’ve just updated the diagram for 2025 to reflect our new service. Comparing old with new really highlights how much our technology landscape has evolved and simplified.

I’ve been looking at future work in recent months while the team have focused on rolling out our new service. We still have a lot of improvements to bring to the prospective student online experience, and we want student recruitment marketing and admissions colleagues to help us prioritise what we do next.
