What is UI Design? 

A user interface is the point of interaction between humans and computers.  User interface design is the process of designing how these interfaces look and behave.

What's the difference between UX and UI? 

While UX considers the overall user experience, UI focuses on the visual and interactive elements a person uses to interact with a digital product. 

What does a UI designer do? 

UI designers create all the screens that make up a digital user interface, as well as the individual elements featured on those screens. 

What are the admissions criteria? 

Background: You don't need experience in design or technology to enroll 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 more. 

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. 

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.

How is the course structured? 

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 your coursework to date, ask questions, and get feedback on your assignment. 

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 you're free to complete it at your convenience.  You'll still be able to participate 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 six months. 

Will I get a mentor? 

Yes.  All our mentors are UI industry professionals with many years of experience in the field.  Our mentors host weekly assignment feedback webinars and will be available during these live sessions to answer questions, review your progress, and run quick tutorials on how to improve your UI designs. 

Will I build a portfolio? 

Yes.  Practical work is a huge part of the course.  You'll complete an assignment which involves a series of practical exercises to give you hands-on experience in UI design.  This assignment showcases your skills, your mindset, and your experience.  It's something you can showcase to prospective employers to demonstrate the skills you've acquired during the course. 

Will I work on a team? 

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.
