User Experience (UX) Design, BSc Hons FullTime
As someone with prior experience in digital design, I pursued this degree to transition into UX. While I gained a deeper understanding of research and UX theory, the programme was repetitive in many theoretical areas and lacked sufficient focus on applying that theory in practice. While my skills have grown in research and UX design theories, the programme lacks essential teaching in intermediate/advanced prototyping, UI design, and hands-on practice with user research. My previous design education had class-wide critiques, where students commented on each others' work. I find this more effective in learning how to communicate and collaborate with others, and to grow as a designer than group work projects. The programme alone does not make you job-ready. I had to rely heavily on self-teaching through online resources to stay competitive, which undermines the value of attending university. Considering the cost as an international student, the programme fell short of my expectations.
