Design a Degree 2.0
summary
Plans to crawl and evaluate 1200 degrees across the UK using an industry-validated methodology and an independent research partner, aiming to publish a ranked list of the top 100 interesting degrees later this year. Industry input drives criteria: teach continuous integration, team-based projects with real long-running deliverables, and modern stacks (JavaScript/Python) rather than obsolete tech like Flash. Outcome targets recruitment signals and yearly reviews to surface surprising pockets of high-quality but under-subscribed courses.
