Project overview
AHUT is an engineering-focused university in Ma’anshan, China. Its international website helps students explore study options and prepare to apply.
My role
UI/UX Designer
What I designed
I designed the international student website, from programme discovery and admissions to campus life. I also built a shared design system to keep the pages consistent.
The problem
“Hey Ishan, help international students find the right programme, understand the costs and know how to apply to AHUT.”
The process
Start with the student’s questions.
Review university websites for how they explain courses, costs and admissions. Gather useful layouts and visual references into a moodboard.
A content checklist and visual direction.
Plan the journey before the screens.
Group pages around what students need to know: what to study, what it costs, how to apply and what life there is like.
A sitemap built around student tasks.
Give every page a shared foundation.
Use AHUT’s navy and gold palette, Instrument Sans and Manrope, with shared buttons, fields and navigation patterns.
One consistent system across the website.
Make the details easy to understand.
Bring the structure to life with readable course cards, clear fee breakdowns and campus imagery across desktop and mobile.
Responsive screens ready for development.
The solution
Find a programme that fits
Search and degree-level filters help students narrow their options. Clear programme summaries make it easier to decide what to explore next.
Understand the full cost of study
Tuition, living expenses and scholarship information sit in a clear structure, so students can plan beyond the course fee.
Make applying feel manageable
A step-by-step guide explains what to prepare, which documents to gather and where to submit an application.
Key product decisions
Help students choose,then help them apply.
Make costs clearbefore commitment.
Show campus life,not just course details.
Results and learning
The result
A complete international student website, with a clear path from exploring programmes to preparing an application.
What I learned
Choosing a university also means planning a move. Costs, entry requirements and daily life deserve as much attention as the programme itself.
