UX Design Institute
UX Design Institute is an accredited online UX design program that offers intensive 6-month or 12-month courses, resulting in a Professional Diploma in UX Design from the Glasgow Caledonian University. Courses cover UX principles, user research, analysis frameworks, interaction design, prototyping, and wireframing. The courses are delivered entirely online with video modules and regular mentor-led webinars. Each course has a dedicated mentor, all of which are UX professionals with years of industry experience. Students create several projects throughout their time in the program with the aim of enhancing their prospects in the job market. The programs conclude with a 2-hour exam required to receive the Diploma.
UX Design Institute applicants don’t need experience in design or technology to enroll. Having one or both may help you advance, but the program was created with beginners in mind. Students are admitted on a case-by-case basis after a consultation with one of UDI’s Education Advisors. Applicants fill out an online form after which someone from the UX design institute will follow up to discuss enrollment. Critical factors in the initial discussion will be prior applicable skills, commitment to the program, and proficiency in English – all course communications are in English. After an applicant has been accepted, they can begin.
UX Design Institute works with an Industry Advisory Council which includes companies like Dell, Slack, Mastercard, SAP, and Virgin Media. The advisory board ensures that courses are continually updated with the skills students need to make them relevant in the job market. Alumni have gone on to work with companies like Amazon, Airbnb, Uber, and Google.

Intense bootcamp experience
I appreciate the learning structure and materials offered by the program. The support for teachers in addressing questions is commendable, yet there is room for improvement in terms of directness on certain topics. Occasionally, it feels as though feedback is universally positive, and a more specific and candid approach could enhance the overall effectiveness of the communication.

Inspirational, innovative and empowering
I really enjoyed the UX Design certificate program - the teachers, my fellow students and the facilities were A+ across the board. I wasn't sure about the Brainstation brand at first, but I was impressed at every turn; wouldn't hesitate to highly recommend! - AnonymousUX Designer • Graduate • Professional Diploma in UX Design (structured) • OnlineJun 08, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A
Covers a solid basis to prepare you for your professional career

It teaches a lot of great UX principles and design patterns which can be carried over to your professional career. - AnonymousFunctional Designer • Graduate • Professional Diploma in UX Design (structured) • OnlineMay 15, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A
Motivating
I was enthusistic throughout the full course. It handles a broad variety of topics, going deep enough into each, but not so deep that it gets boring. There are leads to help you further- literature to l learn more, videos to learn about professionals in the field, how to set up tour portfolio. The video lessons are very clear and motivating. The home work helps to really understand the process. It’s very nice that you can make up your own time schedule and work remote. It is at the same ...I was enthusistic throughout the full course.

It is at the same time the only draw back: I never met or spoke to any person during the course and that makes me feel a little alone. - AnonymousStudent • Professional Diploma in UX Design (structured) • OnlineApr 29, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Would 100% recommend!
This course has truly been amazing. The course structure and support available have been perfect. Coming with no UX background/knowledge, I was uncertain how easy I would find the course. Can honestly say that the material is created in a way that is comprehensive to anyone. All you need is an interest in UX. It also gave me the opportunity to create an awesome portfolio! - AnonymousSenior Consultant • Graduate • Professional Diploma in UX Design (structured) • OnlineMar 25, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A
Great course overall
great course. You go through the videos and and work on your own project. You also have an opportunity to get online feedback from mentors, community on Slack or during an online meetup.
I wish there was more online mentoring one-on-one. The problem is that the feedback during the meetup is onsided, you can only hear the teacher - AnonymousGraduate • Professional Diploma in UX Design (structured) • OnlineFeb 11, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A
Fast paced and professional
Unsure of what to expect from a bootcamp like setting for the classroom, my expectations were definitely exceeded. I really enjoyed the live class sessions and option to go back and review the zoom calls if and when needed. Though it is a very fast paced environment, the teacher and TA's were very understanding if arrangements needed to be made for missed classes, late homework and resubmitting assignments. It was important to stay on track since classes were sequenced to follow the last...Unsure of what to expect from a bootcamp like setting for the classroom, my expectations were definitely exceeded. I really enjoyed the live class sessions and option to go back and review the zoom calls if and when needed. Though it is a very fast paced environment, the teacher and TA's were very understanding if arrangements needed to be made for missed classes, late homework and resubmitting assignments. It was important to stay on track since classes were sequenced to follow the last. There were many group working assignments and projects where project management was key and learning to work with others is imperative to this field of work so there were many practice opportunities offered. This bootcamp readied me to complete a professional portfolio, resume and start applying for jobs with confidence. The class as a whole felt bonded and excited for each other and many connections outside of the classroom were built. - AnonymousStudent • OnlineDec 14, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
UX Design Course
There's a lot to learn in 12 weeks and you need to be quite focused to get everything covered. I've enjoyed all of it, the intense working parts, learning new software and the class interactions. Our tutor was great, with lots of good advice and real world examples.
