Spring & Autumn 2025 Programmes
We're opening enrolment for carefully structured courses starting September 2025. Each programme brings together practical skill-building with real project work—because learning UI/UX means doing it, not just talking about it.
What You'll Actually Work On
Our courses aren't theoretical. You'll spend time on projects that mirror what designers face in agencies and product teams. Expect critique sessions, iteration cycles, and plenty of feedback along the way.
User Research Foundations
Learn how to conduct interviews, run usability tests, and synthesize findings into actionable insights. This isn't about fancy methods—it's about listening and understanding what people need.
Interface Design Principles
Build interfaces that make sense. We'll cover layout, hierarchy, typography, and colour—but more importantly, you'll learn why certain choices work and others don't.
Prototyping & Testing
You'll create interactive prototypes and test them with real users. It's messy sometimes, but that's where the learning happens—when your assumptions meet actual behaviour.
Design Systems Thinking
Understand how design scales. From buttons to full component libraries, you'll see how consistency helps teams move faster without sacrificing quality.
I joined the October 2024 cohort without much design background. What surprised me most was how much we focused on process over tools. The instructors pushed us to defend our decisions and consider alternative approaches. That critical thinking has stayed with me.
Workshop-Based Learning
Most sessions are hands-on. We'll tackle design challenges together, critique each other's work, and learn from both successes and mistakes. It's collaborative, not competitive.
Real Project Briefs
Each course includes projects based on actual design problems. You'll work through ambiguity, make tough calls, and build a portfolio that shows how you think.
Weekly Feedback Cycles
You'll present work in progress every week. It's nerve-wracking at first, but learning to articulate your thinking and respond to critique is what separates good designers from great ones.
Small Group Format
We cap courses at 16 participants. This means you get meaningful attention, not generic advice. Our instructors know your work and can offer feedback that actually helps you improve.
Upcoming Course Schedule
All courses run for 12 weeks with two evening sessions per week. You'll need about 8-10 hours weekly for coursework between sessions. Applications open in June 2025.
Foundations in UI/UX Design
Our introductory programme covering research methods, interface design, and prototyping. Ideal if you're switching careers or adding design skills to your existing role. Tuesdays and Thursdays, 6:30-9:00 PM.
Advanced Interaction Design
For those with design experience who want to deepen their interaction skills. We'll explore complex flows, microinteractions, and animation principles. Mondays and Wednesdays, 7:00-9:30 PM.
Design Systems Workshop
Learn to build and maintain component libraries. We'll work through documentation, governance, and collaboration challenges that come with scaling design. Saturdays, 10:00 AM-3:00 PM.
User Research in Practice
Go deep on qualitative and quantitative research methods. You'll plan studies, conduct sessions, and turn insights into design recommendations. Thursdays and Fridays, 6:00-8:30 PM.
