CourseMatch

Live Demo: https://coursematch-ui.onrender.com

CourseMatch is a full stack web platform that helps students choose university courses they actually qualify for and are well-suited for — using a combination of rule-based filtering and AI-driven recommendations.

The Problem

Students often:

• Choose courses based on hype instead of fit
• Apply for courses they don’t qualify for
• Realize too late they made the wrong choice
• Don’t understand APS, endorsements, or subject requirements

---

The Solution

CourseMatch separates eligibility from suitability:

1. Students enter their marks
2. System calculates:
   • APS
   • Endorsement
   • Subject profile
3. Filters only qualified courses (strict university rules)
4. AI ranks those courses based on:
   • Interests
   • Strengths
   • Goals

Result: Realistic + personalized course decisions
