What's on

Grüezi! 👋🏻 Ready to dive into UX design like a pro? Join our CPD-accredited, hands-on 3-day workshop run by an ex-Microsoft senior UX designer from London 🇬🇧.

We'll cover everything from business and user research to wireframing with grid systems and style guides, plus usability and A/B testing. And because we like working smarter, not harder, we'll also explore how AI can boost your design workflow.

🗓️ Day 1 — UX research, user journey mapping, usability and A/B testing, conversion tracking + practical exercises.

🗓️ Day 2 — Hands-on project work, prototyping UI of a mobile app in Figma, using 12-column grid, creating design system + testing on a real device.

🗓️ Day 3 — More hands-on project work, designing a desktop app from scratch + techniques on how to streamline your design process with AI.

💼 You'll work on various projects with plenty of practical exercises and receive real-time feedback by your tutor.

📍 The classes are run in-person at Engimattstrasse 14, 8002 Zürich, Switzerland 🍴 Lunch, tea, coffee, and water provided throughout the day.

Our students rate us ‘Excellent’. Come see why for yourself.

As a graphic designer I wanted to gain more of an insight into the world of UX/UI design and I was definitely given the knowledge and tools to be able to apply them into my day to day role.

Shauna

I took this course as a content designer wanting to learn more about UI and UX. Most other courses don't offer certificates but this one did. So it's great to have actual evidence to place on my CV, LinkedIn and online portfolio.

This was a fantastic week of learning. Each tutor was incredibly helpful. Would highly recommend to anyone wanting to start a career in UX and or UI.

Izzy

I did the UX writing course and it was exactly what I needed. I'm looking forward to finishing the UX/UI cycle with the school of ux and upping this to a 5-star review.
