Vývoj aplikace CzechUni: Správa profilu vysoké školy

Currently, foreign students do not have enough support to apply to study at Czech universities. There are portals that collect information about universities and their study programmes, but they no longer offer the possibility to apply for these programmes. International students therefore have to find out all the information about how to apply themselves, which can be challenging. The CzechUni web application for international students was developed by the student team and solves this problem. It allows international students to find out information about Czech universities and their study programmes and apply to them directly in the application. However, obtaining up-to-date and correct information about universities and their study programmes is challenging and would require regular checks by the application administrator. For this reason, universities are allowed to manage their profile and catalogue of study programmes so that they can publish only valid information to help international students choose the right study programme. The main objective of the master thesis is to design and implement the components of the CzechUni application User Profile Management, University Profile Management and Study Programme Catalogue Management. Both systematic and unsystematic research is used to describe the current state of the field. The project was managed using the MMSP methodology, which needed to be tailored to the specific needs of the team. The design of the database of each component was created by identifying real-world entities, their attributes and relationships. The Figma tool was used to design the user interface and to create the individual screens. The Laravel framework was used to implement all components and the Git tool used to version the product increments. Feature tests were written directly in the application source code to test the components. The main contribution of the work is the implemented components User Profile Management, University Profile Management and Study Programme Catalogue Management. The User Profile Management component offers efficient management of all data related to individual user profiles, whether it is contact information or submitted applications. The University Profile Management and Study Programme Catalogue Management components allow universities to edit information relating to both the schools themselves and their study programmes, providing international students with all the information they need in one place that is both up-to-date and correct.
