As a University Admin user, you are able to manage, view, and update your institutions' Degree or Program list from within your University Dashboard. To view the functionality available to you, see below:
🎚️ How To Add Degree Levels
Degree Levels = The different categorisations for your available degrees or programs. EXAMPLES: In the UK, this might be Undergraduate and Postgraduate. In the US, this might be Bachelors and Graduate, etc.
Log into your University Dashboard and scroll down to the Customization tab. From there, select Ambassadors, and then Level of Study.
2. Add in your new Degree Level(s)
Examples:
Bachelor
MSc
MBA
Alumni
Foundation Year
3. When adding a new degree level, you must also select a Category.
Categories standardise how degree levels are grouped across institutions and support consistent reporting and benchmarking insights across the platform. Because benchmarking relies on consistent categorisation, each degree level must be assigned to one of the predefined categories.
Each degree level must be mapped to one of the following categories:
Pre-University
For students preparing to enter university (e.g., foundation year, pathway programmes).
Undergraduate
Bachelor's level programmes.
Postgraduate Taught (PGT)
Taught master's programmes such as MSc, MA, MBA.
Postgraduate Research (PGR)
Research-based postgraduate degrees such as PhD, MPhil.
Professional / Other
Professional qualifications or specialised programmes.
Alumni
Former students who have completed their studies.
Once both fields are completed, click Submit to save the degree level.
4. Add a New Year of Study for each new Degree Level you add. This will ensure that your Student Ambassadors are able to accurately choose their year of study to display on their Ambassador Profile (i.e. they are studying a Bachelors program, and are in their second year).
📜 How To Add Degrees
Degrees = The different study disciplines or programs you offer. EXAMPLES: BSc Computer Science, MSc Computing & Information Systems, Bachelor of Liberal Arts, etc.
Navigate to the Customization tab and select Degrees. From there, click on Add Degree(s).
2. Select the desired Degree Level for your Degree(s).
3. Type in your Degree(s), then select Save Degrees.
Your degrees would then appear on your Degree List - which means Student Ambassadors can add them to their Ambassador Profiles, and also means that your prospective students can choose from a drop-down menu of program options, to indicate what they are interested in studying at your institution.
⚡️ How To Activate/De-activate Degrees
De-activating = The degree will no longer be visible for selection on Ambassador sign-up fields / existing Ambassadors can no longer select this on their profile.
📢 NB: Please advise Ambassadors to update their profiles if applicable with an active degree or program option. If their degree or program has been deactivated and they have not selected a new one, they will not appear on your Main Chat platform or Traffic Drivers.
To activate a Degree, select a greyed-out Degree, then click Activate.
2. To deactivate a Degree, select a non-greyed-out Degree, then click De-activate.
🚛 How To Update Degree Levels in Bulk
