Scraping University Courses (part 2)

Previous Post: Part 1

See my codes on GitHub. For explanation on codes, please see the above Part 1 post.

The final code for web scraping incorporates the data extraction from the list of universities listed below. Given certain limitations in the web pages that are available and the limitations in my capabilities I have managed to obtain the list of courses from each university. For most universities the link to each course is also obtained from the same location.

The final output can be found here -> csv

Scraping University Courses (part 1)

 As a prospective student looking at starting a degree in an university, it is important to know which universities are offering the courses that you are looking for. In this project I am planning on writing some code to scrape through university pages to get a list of all courses that they offer. As my undergraduate is from the UK, I will be focusing only on UK universities at this time.
