Program Description

Students will also get practical experience in project and stakeholder management, testing, prototyping and communication. 

As students develop effective UX design skills, they will be prepared to work with clients from a range of industries, helping to meet the strategic objectives of businesses and organizations. Experiential learning opportunities will allow students to apply their learning in real-world settings, and ensure their skills meet the current demands of the ever-growing UX job market. During the second semester, students will have the opportunity to participate in internal or external client-based projects, becoming a UX team member of a product development team.
