Information needs
Summary of what the subject is so can decide: Is this subject right for me?
Outline of the 'course' - detail on that.
Complementary/related subjects – other options (keep this fairly high on the page)
How does it work? (eg, points, majors, minors, double majors, conjoint degrees, trimesters).
How do I put my degree together? OR Which courses would I study? How many papers can I do per year?
What pre-work could I do?
What prerequisites are there? Entry requirements
Scholarships and costs
Email contact blocks
Related careers (but avoid them being vague)
Will there be a job at the end of it? Worries a little about student debt.
Accommodation
PG info - keep it last - not relevant yet (trend)
Understanding of terminology
Course codes, levels etc confusing. "Assumes prior knowledge."
No students used the word "accommodation" - instead they talked about housing, dorms,
Current students - about current students. I'd find profiles here (x6)
'Study areas' - two students thought this meant places to go and do study.
Locations
Faculties and schools "what courses are on offer"
When went through to a school site, didn't realise that but commented on the poor look and feel (common). One recognised purple colour branding.
Use of course finder
- Chose 'undergraduate'
2. Used subject dropdown (rather than top field)
Features
Good but too general. Want more detail and relevance - not just how their first yhear went, but more about clubs they joined, how they organised their workload, etc.
Profiles/features – what they’ve gone on to do. How they’ve used it.
