“The course has been absolutely fantastic. The teachers have been brilliant and very attentive. Definitely recommend for obtaining real life experience and developing a grounding in UX.”
Competitors give you projects.
We give you a job.
Real start-up placement
Embedded in an actual organisation, working on a live product with real users. Not a case study. Not a simulation.
Live every week
Weekly sessions with your cohort and instructor. Work through real challenges in real time, with senior critique every step.
Max 15 students
Your work gets seen, your questions get answered, and your progress gets personal attention.
Two steps.
One career.
Two stackable steps. Complete both and graduate job-ready with real professional experience — no competitor programme matches that.

Full programme: 20 weeks · £3,000 total
12 weeks. Real outcomes.
01
Applied UX in a real organisation
Work directly with a start-up as an embedded designer. Navigate real briefs, real constraints, and real stakeholders.
02
Discovery and research in the wild
Run user interviews, contextual enquiry, and synthesis with actual users of your placement product, not a classroom scenario.
03
Design iteration with feedback loops
Prototype, test, and refine your work with the start-up team. Experience the pace and pressure of a live product cycle.
04
Stakeholder communication and critique
Present your design decisions to founders and product leads. Frame rationale, handle pushback, and influence direction.
05
Portfolio: telling the outcome story
Turn your real work into a case study that shows hiring managers what you can do, not just what you made.
06
Job search strategy and interview prep
CV review, portfolio critique, mock interviews, and a structured job-search plan to carry you from course end to offer.
Everything a hiring manager
wants to see.
