Transitioning to postgraduate education can be a challenging experience for MSc students, especially for those who are international students. They often face numerous obstacles such as adapting to the differences between undergraduate and postgraduate education, unfamiliar living conditions, language barriers, cultural and social differences, and mental health concerns. To address these challenges, this project aims to design and develop a user-friendly and interactive web application to support EEE MSc freshmen students’ transition to their graduate programmes. The web application offers four main features which includes Community, Events, Tips & Guides and Calendar. This web application is implemented using HTML, CSS and JavaScript for frontend and Firebase for backend. Overall, the implementation of this web application has the potential to improve MSc freshmen students’ university experience and well-being by providing them with a comprehensive and accessible resource to support their transition to school of EEE, especially for international students facing unique challenges.
