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.

February has seen us turn our attention to working out how best to present fees information to prospective postgraduates. We also saw the Undergraduate Degree Finder 2021 go live on schedule.

After 5 months of hard work and collaboration across the University, we launched the new undergraduate study website for 2021 on 24 February 2020.

This year for the first time we used a tool called GatherContent to collect Undergraduate Degree Finder programme content. Up until this point, the traditional medium for exchanging content was Word documents with tracked changes. Multiple revisions would fly back and forth between us, becoming increasingly convoluted. It was a lot to manage, and the […]
