UX Design Institute is an accredited online UX design program that offers intensive 6-month or 12-month courses, resulting in a Professional Diploma in UX Design from the Glasgow Caledonian University. Courses cover UX principles, user research, analysis frameworks, interaction design, prototyping, and wireframing. The courses are delivered entirely online with video modules and regular mentor-led webinars. Each course has a dedicated mentor, all of which are UX professionals with years of industry experience. Students create several projects throughout their time in the program with the aim of enhancing their prospects in the job market. The programs conclude with a 2-hour exam required to receive the Diploma.
UX Design Institute applicants don’t need experience in design or technology to enroll. Having one or both may help you advance, but the program was created with beginners in mind. Students are admitted on a case-by-case basis after a consultation with one of UDI’s Education Advisors. Applicants fill out an online form after which someone from the UX design institute will follow up to discuss enrollment. Critical factors in the initial discussion will be prior applicable skills, commitment to the program, and proficiency in English – all course communications are in English. After an applicant has been accepted, they can begin.
UX Design Institute works with an Industry Advisory Council which includes companies like Dell, Slack, Mastercard, SAP, and Virgin Media. The advisory board ensures that courses are continually updated with the skills students need to make them relevant in the job market. Alumni have gone on to work with companies like Amazon, Airbnb, Uber, and Google.

Excellent experience
Over exceeded my expectations and very helpful with every question. The student support is totally reliable and committed to helping. I work full time so I needed support when possible and each time they responded within the hour or even less. They also knew what the other colleagues had said previously so there is a chain of information. I like that very much. - Eimear McCormackGraduate • Professional Diploma in UX Design (structured) • OnlineMay 29, 2024Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

Some of the highlights for me were:- The curriculum is well-structured, paced and succinctly delivered by UX Design Institute founder and CEO Colman Walsh.
- The course mentors were always available within the hour to answer questions, give helpful feedback and encouragement on my project submissions throughout the duration of the course.
- Finally, the UX Design Institute support network is very helpful and friendly. It was here that I came across the insightful “UX Insiders” webinar series that gave me a very in depth look at how design professionals have broken into and brought their strengths to the realm of UX design.
Having this certificate on my resume has already started opening doors to new work opportunities and I can't wait to start putting these skills into action in the future 💖 - Ephrem BFront-End Developer • Graduate • OnlineMar 01, 2024Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A
UX Design Fundamental (Overall, it was a rewarding experience!)
I successfully completed the UX Design fundamental course at the UX Design Institute, expanding my understanding of UX alongside my Front-End developer profession. While the course heavily relies on external articles(resources), having written handouts would enhance inclusivity for different learning preferences. Some individuals learn quickly through either watching or reading.

While the course heavily relies on external articles(resources), having written handouts would enhance inclusivity for different learning preferences. Some individuals learn quickly through either watching or reading. The self-paced structure and flexible exam scheduling were advantageous, though some exam questions felt unrelated to the video content, making them very difficult to answer(It is ambiguous). Overall, I am happy!
Pros:- The instructor demonstrated a profound understanding of UX Design, delivering an exceptional and amazing presentation.
- The team exhibited a friendly and communicative style, responding promptly with a positive attitude (Slack + Email).
Cons:- The exam covered topics not addressed in the modules, emphasizing the importance of reviewing those external articles and the UX glossary. I strongly recommend everyone to read them all.
- The video player lacked an auto-continuous play function and airplay mode, consistently defaulting to lower video quality despite a high-speed internet connection.
Wishing everyone the best of luck in their pursuits. - Nathalie R.Student • Professional Diploma in UX Design (structured) • OnlineFeb 15, 2024Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A
Excellent course and great UX for online learning!
I enrolled in the Professional Diploma course to specialize in UX, having a rough understanding of some concepts. Despite a difficult and delayed start for personal reasons, I was able to quickly catch up on the program later at my own cadence and successfully completed the course at a quicker pace. The videos are captivating and really easy to follow and remember. A ton of day-to-day examples help understand the concepts developed in the videos.

Despite a difficult and delayed start for personal reasons, I was able to quickly catch up on the program later at my own cadence and successfully completed the course at a quicker pace. The videos are captivating and really easy to follow and remember. A ton of day-to-day examples help understand the concepts developed in the videos. The project work is straight forward, although quite intense when you try to do it seriously. Don't underestimate the time it will take, but it's definitely great learning! I was self-sufficient working with the project instructions and the webinars (both are needed), I rarely needed assistance. It was great to have access to the session replays, as the timing wasn't always compatible with family schedules. I was very hesitant to enroll on a fully online course, but the UX Design Institute made it really easy and smooth! My take-away is that I love this discipline and I highly recommend this course! - Kathryn WheelerSales and Marketing Manager • Graduate • Professional Diploma in UX Design (structured) • OnlineFeb 11, 2024Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A
Very thorough theory and excellent practicals
From start to finish, the course provides an excellent foundation to understand exactly what UX Design is about and your role as a UX Designer. The theory, techniques, background reading and projects lets you understand exactly what is expected of you in the working world.
The student support team is beyond brilliant. The feedback provided grows with the difficulty of each project and by my final project, I was given extremely patient and in-depth guidance that made me understand...From start to finish, the course provides an excellent foundation to understand exactly what UX Design is about and your role as a UX Designer. The theory, techniques, background reading and projects lets you understand exactly what is expected of you in the working world.
The student support team is beyond brilliant. The feedback provided grows with the difficulty of each project and by my final project, I was given extremely patient and in-depth guidance that made me understand how I could improve my final project and how much the details do matter. And they matter a LOT.
If you're working full time and worried about how you can juggle this course, I tackled it while working full time and had to take the year track. They are very patient, do not judge you on your pace and answer all questions with a kindness that any stressed-out student will really appreciate.
My only thoughts on improvement would be having a little more detail on the minor research techniques. The main one (usability testing) was covered in exceptional detail but I believe a few practical projects (even not mandatory) in the others might help improve confidence when applying for jobs (as I do see them listed as a criteria).
Overall, very happy with my experience and as soon as the budget allows, I intend to sign up for their other courses! - Tarryn HuntUX Designer • Graduate • Professional Diploma in UX Design (structured) • OnlineJan 24, 2024Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
