HVL - Masterportalen
The project centered on further development of Masterportalen, Western Norway University of Applied Sciences' thesis proposal management solution. The original solution proved insufficient for a growing user base and additional study programmes. Phase one extended the platform beyond master's theses to include bachelor projects, with adjustments made to accommodate varying requirements and supervisory processes across programmes, increasing adaptability. Phase two introduced a formal approval workflow for external proposals. Previously, students could select proposals directly; the new process requires review and approval before student interest can be registered, strengthening governance and quality control. The result is a more structured and transparent experience for students and supervisors, enabling the platform to serve a broader range of programmes and users across the institution.
