The shift this course makes
“With 3 years of UX design experience, the course was a great way of consolidating knowledge and putting theory into practice. Much more industry-oriented than university — we worked on a project from start to finish, building every part to create a strong portfolio piece.”
Here's what Week 3 of the course looks like in practice.
“The Wednesday drop-ins were honestly the most valuable part. I could share my screen and my instructor would just tell me exactly what was not working.”

Module breakdown, weekly schedule, and what experience level is required.
Senior designers annotate their decisions. This course teaches you to document reasoning at the same level of rigour as the design itself.

Frame design decisions in business terms and present to stakeholders who did not ask for your opinion. You work on a real client project from day one.
Map component relationships and design for scale, not just the screen in front of you.
Run diary studies, contextual inquiry, and triangulated synthesis to surface non-obvious insights, then distil them with structured synthesis exercises.
Lead design critiques, establish review rituals, and scale quality across a team. Learn to validate ideas with usability versus concept testing.
Test risky assumptions in hours with high-fidelity Figma prototypes before committing to build. Use How-Might-We statements and advanced ideation to frame the problem.
Bring every skill together on a live brief, present to the client, and produce a case study that demonstrates senior thinking.
Every student completes a real client brief. These are portfolio pieces made during the 8-week course.
Work shown with graduate permission. Real client briefs — not made-up exercises.

Not a highlight reel. Real transitions, real timelines.
The salary jump
Mid-level UX: £40k–£65k
Senior UX: £65k–£90k
The gap between mid-level and senior is not more years of the same work. It is stakeholder influence, systems thinking, and the ability to lead design decisions rather than respond to them.
Our graduates have gone on to roles at companies across tech, finance, healthcare, government, and beyond.
