Overview
This project contains a web site which will give information about the postgraduate courses offered by the Computer Engineering Department University of Peradeniya. After graduating most of the students are seeking opportunities for higher studies.
The Computer Engineering Department of the University of Peradeniya also offers many postgraduate courses for those students. Currently, the available web page is lack of details about the courses and content coverage. So, the main intention of this project is to design a very detailed course page for postgraduates. Existing web site only contains about the PhD and MPhil research based programmes.
Problem
The available course page contains only the research-based postgraduate courses. Although the department does not offer any teaching postgraduate courses, the department is planning to offer around 25 teaching postgraduate courses including technical electives in near future. So, the department is in a need of a new postgraduate course page.
Proposed Solution
- Develop a very informative web site to keep course information
- Separate web pages for each course
- Detailed course page with statistical data(total registered students, grading average in previous years etc)
UI Design
Following figures are the figma designs for the proposed solution.
| Home Page | All-Courses Page | Single-Course Page |
