Overview

Program Finder is an online database of all programs of study at the University. 'Programs' within the context of the University of Adelaide refers to all undergraduate, postgraduate and non-award degree programs and plans. This program information is primarily aimed at prospective students but will also be of use to current students and other stakeholders. 

To be able to display correct and accurate information the Program Finder uses data in PeopleSoft about the programs and plans officially offered by the University in a particular year. However, the data stored in PeopleSoft is not comprehensive, especially in providing textual descriptions, such as program outlines, international specific information, graduate attributes etc.

The program finder takes all the information it can from PeopleSoft and augments it with information than has been manually added from a range of sources including print publications, Faculty websites and Calendar. The eventual aim is to have a single central source of program information.
