UX & Digital Design Week
UX & Digital Design Week
UX & Digital Design WeekThroughout this one week programme, students will learn best practices and methods, design strategy and management, design for modern platforms (web, mobile, internet of things, wearables, service design), tools. More experienced professionals can expect to deepen their knowledge and will get a fresh perspective — they should leave feeling more confident by the end of the programme, knowing they are working on a world-class level of competence. Younger, more inexperienced designers and product managers will learn modern digital product design practices firsthand. And of course, the course is a fantastic networking opportunity.
The UK is one of the most advanced countries in UX and interface design, and as such many of the technological giants have offices in London. As a result, London has accumulated a great number of brilliant world-renowned designers. Plus the UK has always been known for its systematic approach, so it is definitely a place to learn how to deal with projects big and small.
