“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.”
Senior critique on your product thinking every week from a named practitioner instructor — not a forum thread.
Work through discovery, AI interaction patterns, and trade-offs in real time with your cohort on Zoom.
Two dedicated AI modules: designing AI-powered products and evaluating AI experiences. Not a bolt-on — core curriculum.
Take a real brief from problem to shippable solution. Own the outcome story for your portfolio.

Not a highlight reel. Real transitions, real timelines.
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 wasn't working.”
Tap any week to see what you'll cover. Want it as a PDF? Get the brochure.
Outcomes over outputs: frame problems around business value and user impact, not just screens. Understand where product designers operate in the team.
Run structured discovery with opportunity solution trees and assumption mapping. Use AI tools to synthesise research faster without sacrificing rigour.
Master the patterns and pitfalls of AI-generated outputs. Handle uncertainty, error states, and user trust.
Define success metrics for products with AI components and design experiments that test both UX and model behaviour.
Take a real brief from problem to shippable solution — your portfolio piece for product design interviews.
Tell the outcome story product hiring managers want to hear. Nail the whiteboard challenge and the portfolio walkthrough.
Week 5 is your end-to-end product project on a real brief. See real client projects we have delivered →
Every student completes a real client brief. These are portfolio pieces from across UX Academy courses -- each one is labelled with the course it came from.
Work shown with graduate permission. Real client briefs — not made-up exercises.

UX and UI designers with 1 to 2 years of experience moving into product design roles. These roles own outcomes alongside product and engineering, and increasingly involve designing with AI.
No. The course teaches design skills for AI-powered products, not how to build AI. Evaluate AI outputs, design for uncertainty, and collaborate with the engineers building the models.
Product designers work closer to the business: frame problems around metrics and value, run discovery and experiments, and own outcomes end to end, not just the interface. The AI modules also prepare you for the growing share of roles where AI is part of the product.

Most of our graduates said exactly this before starting. UX is less about visual creativity and more about curiosity and empathy: understanding why people struggle with things, then figuring out how to fix it. If you have ever rewritten a confusing email, reorganised a messy drawer, or explained something complicated simply, you're already thinking like a UX designer.
Every live session is recorded and available the same day. Life happens; we know that. If you miss something, you'll catch up. The Wednesday drop-in sessions exist specifically for this: come with questions, share your screen, get unstuck. No one gets left behind in a group of 10.
A cheaper course teaches you the same material. What it can't give you is a real client project, an instructor who knows your name, or a cohort that gives you feedback on your actual work. Those are the things employers notice in your portfolio, not which platform you studied on.
