Known as UX, User Experience focuses on a customer having a successful and enjoyable interaction with a product or service, including websites, apps or physical objects. Students do NOT need a background in design or technology to join into this industry.

The job of the UX designer is to make sure the product or service is:

  • easy to use, and it is easy to navigate to each section

  • nice to look at with regards to colour, design and layout

  • easy to navigate with clear links on calls to action

  • full of useful content

  • works as it is supposed to


Many people think UX is only used in the technology sector. Not true! It is used in the following industries to ensure customers & consumers are engaged and returning:

Automotive: placement of technology in car, entertainment system, dashboard screen
Education: e-learning flow and platforms, teaching devices like electronic white boards, curriculum development
Telecommunications: mobile device design, data usage apps
Entertainment: streaming services, social media apps and sites, video gaming
Banking: bank apps, website flow
E-Commerce: shopping cart, product display, loyalty programs
Software: mobile apps, software flow
