Visualizing courses : Improved Tools for University Course Planning

It is important for University students to be able to have a clear picture of their education, both what they have accomplished so far and what is ahead of them. Students at the technical faculty have a lot of freedom to study a great variety of courses. But with great freedom comes great responsibility. The problem is the lack of information given to the students about their progress towards graduation. This master thesis was made to find ways of visualizing the Information Technology program. The goal was to find visualizations that, at a later stage, could be made interactive and serve as a guidance tool for students. The work resulted in various graphs that presents the study program, as well as some interactive visualizations made from an application that served as a proof of concept on how the tool could work
