Validating excellence in UX education

We want you to learn the most relevant skills that employers are looking for. That’s why we formed an Industry Advisory Council, consisting of technology industry employers, design leaders and recruiters. The Council connects us to the wider UX industry. It oversees our courses, making sure they’re current and focused on the skills employers need most.

Setting a global standard

The Industry Advisory Council and university credit-rating set a globally recognised standard for our educational programmes. Employers and recruiters have confidence that graduates from the UX Design Institute have achieved the highest level of UX education and job-ready skills.

Industry Advisory Council members

The Council is made up of three types of members: global technology companies who employ UX professionals, startups and agencies that use UX in their design process, and recruitment agencies who find and place UX professionals.

From Photographer to UX

"The course gives you everything you need to succeed in your career. My course portfolio is how I got my job: it shows that you have the knowledge. You can talk about UX design, but you can also present a body of work."
