Course Overview
About the UI/UX Designer Programme
What this course is
The UI/UX Designer programme is a practical, portfolio-first training in product design. You work the way a design team does — from user research and wireframes, through high-fidelity visual design, to responsive interfaces a developer can actually build.
What you will learn
You will learn design thinking and UX fundamentals, wireframe and prototype in Figma and Adobe XD, produce polished visual design in the Adobe suite, and take designs into the browser with HTML, CSS and JavaScript — finishing with AI-assisted workflows and design systems.
Why it matters
Every digital product now competes on experience. Designers who can research a problem, design a solution and hand off work that developers can build are in demand across product companies, agencies and startups.
Who it is designed for
Students and graduates entering design, developers and marketers who want design capability, graphic designers moving into product UX, and career switchers building their first portfolio.
