Programme overview
UI/UX Design Fundamentals is an eight-week research-to-prototype programme for aspiring product designers, developers, entrepreneurs and digital creators. Learners practise problem framing, user research, synthesis, information architecture, user flows, wireframes, interface systems, responsive design, prototyping and usability testing.
The programme culminates in a Research-to-Prototype Product Case Study that demonstrates both design output and the evidence behind key product decisions.
