The Diploma in Design for User Experience (DDUX) uncovers how great designs can enhance the user experience in profound and delightful ways.

Students will acquire the ability to create user interfaces that are sophisticated, intuitive, and a pleasure to use, and gain insights into how human-centred designs maximize interactivity.

Hands-on training to develop design thinking capabilities and hone practical design skills is an integral part of your learning experience. In addition, relevant industry attachment with design companies or organizations with design divisions allows you to gain real-world experience.
