Graduate Certificate - User Experience Design (UX511)

As user experience designers, students will employ the work-practice of prototyping concepts in order to describe ways to integrate digital services with material products and environments. As UX researchers, students will discover insights through usability testing and apply them to create value for corporate clients and their customers. Toward the conclusion of this program, students will convert their acquired skills and achievements into a portfolio of design products that will help them launch a career as a UX design professional. This program fosters the practical discipline, relevance and currency essential in the contemporary, ever-growing UX job market using in-class studio spaces, case studies, peer-to-peer learning, live client work and a work placement. Graduates will have engaged in varied and comprehensive workplace experiences by the end of the three semesters.

All courses are hybrid and will combine online and in-class instruction and studio work.

This program includes a 160-hour (minimum) work placement which may be completed full time in the third semester.
