I managed to secure a new job as a Product Designer before I even completed the Professional Diploma in UX Design. So I would absolutely recommend the course. The student support has been amazing.
Annie CrosslandProduct Designer @Cirevo
I got a job in UX less than a month after completing my diploma. The mentors were always willing to schedule one-on-one sessions to go over the portfolio and prepare for interviews. As a former iOS developer switching to UX design, the UX Design Institute played a crucial role in my career change.

We're proud to offer the best value UX education with flexible payment options to suit your budget.
Our career advisors are here to answer your questions. Get honest and impartial advice on how to successfully make a career transition to UX design.
Whether you’re new to UX, have some design experience, or already have some UX experience, this course will enhance your abilities to advance your career.
Students are admitted on a case-by-case basis after a consultation with one of our Education Advisors. Key factors we’ll discuss with you include:
1. Background
You don’t need experience in design or technology to enrol in our courses, although having one or both is a definite bonus. Our students come from a diverse mix of backgrounds, including project management, development, graphic design, product management, business analysis and so on.
2. Commitment
You do need to be motivated and committed. We set a high bar. Studying for one of our professional qualifications requires a certain amount of time, energy and focus. Our team will be there to support you along every step of the way but success will come as a result of your own diligence.
3. English language
You need to be comfortable learning in English. All video lessons, course materials, webinars, correspondence and the final exam are delivered in English.
Yes. All our mentors are top class UX professionals with many years of experience working in the field. Our mentors host weekly webinars and will be available during these live sessions to answer questions, review projects and keep you motivated.
Yes, if you want to. Each course is limited to a maximum of 75 people. This allows you to build relationships with your fellow students on a dedicated Slack channel, and collaborate on projects and study time.
This course equips you to think like a UX designer, excel in user research, master design principles, create seamless interactions, build prototypes, and collaborate effectively, enhancing your UX confidence and career prospects. You will also earn a university accredited diploma in UX design recognized by employers.
There are two learning paths available to you:
1. Structured path
The most popular option is to follow the six-month structure. Each month you are given a deadline with a number of video lessons to complete. A monthly mentor-hosted webinar allows you to discuss coursework to date, ask questions and get feedback on your assignment.
2. Self-directed path
Alternatively, according to your personal time constraints, you can complete the course entirely at your own pace. As the course is delivered entirely online, it means that you’re free to complete it whenever you are free. You’ll still be able to take part in any of the webinars - either live or catching up through recordings. Once enrolled, you'll have access to all of the course materials for twelve months.
Yes. Practical work is a huge part of the course. For the Professional Diploma in UX Design there are a total of 16 projects to give you hands-on experience on all the key aspects of UX. Each project is part of a single case study - researching, designing and prototyping a website or a mobile app. The output will be a portfolio of work that will showcase your skills and experience in UX.
Yes! Our team can pause your course access and you can return to your studies at a time that is more convenient for you.
