Unfortunately, the original website merely offered basic details and lacked a user-friendly experience, exacerbating the difficulties in exploring these programs. Consequently, individuals are forced to heavily rely on contacting support, further adding to the burdensome process of acquiring comprehensive knowledge.
Goal
- Provide better support for students in a more user friendly and self service way.
- Reduce friction of research study abroad programs allowing students access to information more easily.
- Engage key points on why students should study abroad and navigating them to the right support.
