User Interface Design

User Interface Design is a mindset and developmental process which involves creating user-friendly, aesthetically pleasing, digital interfaces. With a human-centred approach, UI designers prioritise "Designing things right" by incorporating elements like colour, typography, user flows, atomic design, accessibility and heuristics intentionally into their solutions. 

In this course, you will gain practical UI skills and knowledge in real-world contexts. You will learn about design thinking and human-centred design principles and apply them to a digital project. Throughout the course, you will work with industry-standard tools like Figma to craft exceptional user interfaces that meet users' expectations. Additionally, you will design developer-ready interfaces and use usability testing to refine and improve your UI designs.

Our User Interface Design course is ideal for:

• Existing designers looking to upskill and pivot into UI Design roles or get a role in a digital organisation.
• Junior-mid professionals from related fields including UX Design looking to expand their skillset with UI Design.
•  An entrepreneur with a start-up or side hustle looking to gain skills in UI Design to create aesthetically pleasing, human-centred digital interfaces.

Throughout this course, you will: 

• Test, assess, and integrate the principles of user interface design to improve the experience for an existing digital product.
•  Create, test, prioritise and iterate on designs to produce a prototype.
• Present the heuristics and testing used to justify the design process undertaken to produce the final prototype.

Throughout this course, you'll work on project-based activities which will form a UI design portfolio piece by the end of the course. You'll complete the course with a UI design project to showcase your skills to potential or current employers.
