BRAC University Website Redesign for a Better User Experience

BRAC University Website Redesign for a Better User Experience

BRAC University, a leading private university in Bangladesh, is known for its commitment to excellence in education, research, and community engagement. With a rapidly growing student body, faculty, and administrative ecosystem, the university’s digital presence plays a critical role in delivering information, facilitating academic processes, and supporting student life.

The Problem

  • Cluttered & Difficult Navigation

    The previous website suffered from poor site architecture, redundant information, and a lack of intuitive navigation, making it frustrating for students, faculty, and staff to find what they needed efficiently.

  • Inadequate Access to Key Academic Information

    Users struggled to locate critical information including academic programs, faculty directories, tuition fees, payment procedures, and important academic dates, creating significant confusion among prospective and current students.

  • Poor Resource & Departmental Accessibility

    Essential resources such as the university library, department contact details, and administrative office information were either buried or entirely inaccessible, hindering the daily experience of over 800+ surveyed users.

  • Lack of Career & Opportunity Visibility

    The website failed to adequately showcase career opportunities, internships, and job placements, leaving students uninformed about crucial professional development resources available through the university.
