Thanks Nico, that does help! 

Yes, the idea at the moment (subject to user testing) is that Colleges & 
Schools, Subjects and Campus Life will be the top level for our categories, so 
we should be able to determine into which of those categories the 
sub-categories (e.g. Biological Sciences) fall easily, allowing us to create 
those groupings. 

Cheers,
Allison
