As the University prepares for Clearing 2019,<\/a> we’ve\u00a0made\u00a0some significant updates to our online prospectus. These include improved search design and layout, introduction of new subject area pages and performance enhancements.<\/p>\n

The new course page can be found here<\/a>. Links to the separate subject pages are located at the bottom of this page.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Our new course page<\/p><\/div>\n

What other improvements have been made?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The new course search makes it easier and quicker for prospective students to get to course information. We have introduced easy-to-use navigation filters to help users quickly find and filter courses, whilst also\u00a0improving the design of search results to present information in a clear and consistent way. Course search results have improved subject area tagging and summary information, including \u2018course in clearing\u2019 tags, \u2018year of entry\u2019, \u2018course length\u2019 and \u2018course type\u2019 tags and course summary information.<\/p>\n

We have also created new subject area pages, which we have linked to from the central course page to aid discovery of courses. Each subject area page is optimised to improve our visibility in Google and will help users narrow down their options by grouping useful, relevant courses and content, allowing exploration of courses in a more intuitive way.<\/p>\n

Can the online prospectus be viewed\u00a0on a\u00a0handheld device?<\/strong><\/p>\n

All sections of the new online prospectus work on computers and mobile phones and we have greatly improved search speed performance, meaning users can search and access course information in a fraction of the time they have been able to in the past.<\/p>\n

Any other questions?<\/strong><\/p>\n
