Academic advising and degree planning platform for universities

Guide every student from entry to graduation with rule-compliant, personalised study plans.

StudyPlanner combines audit, planning, and constraint-based sequencing to generate forward-looking study pathways directly from structured curriculum data.

Outcomes for students, advisors, and institutions

The problem

Planning a university degree is complex.

Students must navigate:

Program rules and requirements
Prerequisites and sequencing constraints
Subject availability

This information is often fragmented across systems and documents, making it difficult to construct a clear, rule-compliant study plan.

What StudyPlanner does

StudyPlanner provides a unified platform for degree planning, academic advising, and student success.

It enables students and advisors to:

Explore programs and select subjects through a guided interface
Validate requirements in real time
Generate structured, multi-term study plans
Test alternative pathways while maintaining compliance
Track progress against program rules

Student-centred design

StudyPlanner presents complex curriculum structures in a clear and usable way.

Visual, intuitive interface
Guided workflows for planning decisions
Real-time feedback in context
Supports both structured pathways and flexible exploration
Full advisor functionality for managing and sharing plans

Designed for a consistent, intuitive experience across desktop and mobile, with layouts and interactions adapted for each device.

How it works

StudyPlanner generates and maintains study plans using a rule-driven planning engine based on curriculum structure and student context.

Plans update automatically as conditions change, ensuring they remain valid and achievable.

How StudyPlanner is different

Many degree planning systems rely on predefined pathways or audit-led approaches that validate progress but do not generate structured, forward-looking plans.

StudyPlanner uses a constraint-based sequencing engine to both validate and generate study plans dynamically from:

Curriculum rules and program structures
Prerequisites and anti-requisites
Subject availability
Student progress and study load

Plans update automatically as conditions change, ensuring they remain both valid and achievable over time.

This enables both guided planning and flexible exploration within a structured, rule-driven framework.
