Path programme builder and course selection modelling is used across colleges by students.

The scope of the project is to deliver a modelling tool for students to explore their pathway options during course selection. This replacement to this essential service is required because the existing Path service is reaching end of life in summer 2026. Initial analysis will consider design and user enhancements where required. Path will be rewritten in Python, the IS recommended technology. 

The benefits are:

• Path service remains secure and can be maintained.  
• Usability and accessibility are reviewed and improved where necessary. 
• Student empowered to make their course choices.   
• Efficient process to check suitability, prerequisites and credit requirements.  Improved accuracy of selection. Efficient method of informing student adviser.
