Abstract

Recommender systems in education are becoming more widespread, typically focusing on recommending courses or study materials. This study proposes a machine learning approach to recommend a university degree based on high school and university standardised test results, incorporating students' socioeconomic information as input variables. The objective is to develop a tool for students’ decision-making, supporting the sustainable development goal of Quality Education by providing a data schema to maximise the likelihood of a successful match between the student's profile and the academic program. With its focus on equity in education, this study provides a data-driven approach to assist students in selecting suitable university degrees, aiming to improve educational outcomes and inspire a more equitable education system.
