CourseFinder: Study Abroad Course Search Platform

Visit live website
Search by study destination and study area”

Overview

CourseFinder is PFEC Global's study-abroad search platform. Students use it to explore 550+ institutions across 12 study destinations and book a free consultation with a counsellor. I rebuilt it from a static HTML/CSS site into a Next.js app with a custom admin panel, so the marketing team can manage destinations, institutions and study areas without a developer.
