Programme Overview

This Professional Certificate in User Experience Design (UXD) offers a comprehensive foundation for aspiring UX Designers, delving into the intricate interplay between cognition, emotion, and sensation in crafting impactful user experiences. Through structured courses, learners will grasp the essence of UXD within the system development lifecycle, mastering requisite skill sets while exploring fundamental concepts like cognition, attention, and memory. Beyond theoretical frameworks, the programme empowers learners to translate insights into tangible design solutions, adeptly navigating cognitive, social, and emotional interactions to shape user behaviour effectively. With an emphasis on practical application, learners will hone their abilities in requirements discovery, synthesising findings into actionable UX recommendations encapsulated within broader socio-economic contexts. By the programme’s conclusion, learners emerge equipped to drive meaningful user engagement amidst multifaceted constraints, poised to thrive in the dynamic landscape of experience-centric design.

Programme Objectives

This Professional Certificate will equip learners with the following competencies:

  • Understand what UXD is and the role of a UX Designer in the system development life cycle.
  • Understand the skillsets a UX Designer must have to perform UXD.
  • Understand the concepts of cognition, attention, memory, and mental models, and why are they important for UXD
  • Understand the three components – Perception, Emotion and Sensation that make up an Experience
  • Design appropriate Cognitive, Social and Emotional interactions to achieve the intended effects of influencing the components of Experience.
  • Design products/services to influence human behaviour.
  • Learn to perform the various techniques in Requirements Discovery.
  • Learn to generate UX recommendations based on processes, policies, and people via the creation of Personas, Problem Scenarios and Use Case Definitions.
  • Package and present the UX recommendations within the political, social, economic, and technological constraints.
