User Experience Design is at the forefront of emerging developments in the creative industries. The course will prepare you to move into both employment and further study in this exciting area of design.

The course has a strong reputation for producing industry-ready graduates who can think and execute design solutions across digital, product and service formats.

You will benefit from working in our dedicated UX Design studios and MacLabs to develop advanced specialist skills. The curriculum mixes research, problem-solving and teamwork skills with theory and practice in areas such as website and app design, digital publications, experiential spaces, design thinking processes, design sprints and motion graphics. This course includes training in Adobe Suite and a study trip to Berlin.

We have an Education Network Membership with D&AD and our students regularly enter and win national and international design awards.

Responding to industry-focused design briefs, working individually and in groups, you will gain the essential skills and professional attributes to support advanced progression onto Degree level study or employment in the fields of UX/UI Design and Visual Communications.

Our UX Design students are very successful, progressing directly onto our one-year BA (Hons) in Visual Communications or employment/self-employment or Degree-level programmes across the UK to become in-demand UX Designers.
