UX/UI boot camp

At the University of Birmingham UX/UI Boot Camp, we’re committed to equipping you with the fundamental skills you need to make an impact, while providing unparalleled support and resources before, during, and after your boot camp. The programme has two components: an 8-week fundamentals course, followed by the main 16-week skills boot camp in UX/UI. The structure, pacing, and time requirements are similar across all 24 weeks. Students who successfully complete both components will receive a Certificate of Attendance and Professional Certificate in UX/UI from the University of Birmingham.
