The Postgraduate Entry 2026 website that launched on 7 October introduced new approaches to how we present degree programmes. Contributions from colleagues in schools, colleges and support units have been critical to our transformation of online provision.

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.

Our work this year to deliver a new website for prospective students has reduced the number of pages we publish by over 50%. This is better for the student experience, better for the environment and better for our content management overhead.

In advance of getting access to the new degree finder content management system (CMS), this blog provides School editors with a preview of editing an undergraduate programme page, including what the programme template looks like, what you can edit, what you can’t edit, and where you can find more detailed guidance.

Our provision for prospective students is changing across 2025, starting with undergraduates next week. The way we approach content management is changing too, ensuring a more sustainable and proactively curated service.

Our new service to the University student recruitment community launches soon in early March. But the step change is not coming from the technology. It’s from how the team functions, and there’s a lot here that they’re rightly proud of.
