We recently reviewed the new undergraduate study website with 19 students, using a summative usability testing approach to produce a performance scorecard. While the new site scored really well, we identified a few areas to improve further.

Our team went on campus during the recent Undergraduate Open Day to do some pop-up research and check some design concepts with prospective students and their parents.

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.

Four years ago, the content designers in our team got started on our project to transform our online provision for prospective students. With the recent launch of the new undergraduate provision, we summarise and reflect on the journey that got us to this point.

Alongside launching a new undergraduate degree finder, we’ve redeveloped and launched an updated undergraduate study site. I recap our process to create the site.

As part of our work redeveloping the undergraduate study site, we recently performed a series of content crits (critiques). Content crits are a method of peer reviewing content in a group setting. In this post, I’ll talk about why we held these crits and my tips for holding your own content crits.

Following designing the new degree finder programme pages, we turned our attention to auditing the undergraduate study site. Our aim was to figure out what content should remain on the site given content changes we have made to undergraduate programme pages.

On 30 April 2024, we hosted an event to showcase the insights we gained from releasing a beta of the new undergraduate programme pages. This post gives a summary of the event, with access to the event slides and recording.

We’re running an online event on Tuesday 30 April to showcase the insights we gathered from running the undergraduate beta – a preview of what undergraduate degree profiles will look like when the new system goes live.
