Academic advising and degree planning platform for universities

Guide every student from entry to graduation with structured, compliant, and personalised study plans.

StudyPlanner uses constraint-based sequencing to automatically generate valid study pathways from structured curriculum data (CMS).

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
  • Changing study loads and pathways

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

As a result, planning is unclear, sequencing is difficult to manage, and validation often occurs after decisions are made.

What StudyPlanner does

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

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 consistent use across desktop and mobile.

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.
