Updated online prospectus
In preparation for Clearing, the Channels and Content team have made some significant updates to the University’s online prospectus. This includes improved search design and layout, introduction of new subject area pages and performance enhancements.
New course pages can be seen here.
All links to the separate subject area pages are at the bottom of this page which you can find in the example here.
The new course search makes it easier and quicker for prospective students to get to course information. They have introduced easy-to-use navigation filters to help users quickly find and filter courses and improved 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 ‘course in clearing’ tags, ‘year of entry’, ‘course length’ and ‘course type’ tags and course summary information.
The team have also created new subject area pages, which they 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.
All sections of the new online prospectus work on computers and mobile phones and they 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.
