What the work involves

UX designers study how people use products and services, then design screens and journeys that are easier to use. The work blends observation, problem solving and visual design.

A typical week can include
  • Research — interviewing and observing the people who will use a product.
  • Sketching and prototyping — turning ideas into screens you can test.
  • Testing — watching people use a design and refining it.
  • Collaboration — working closely with developers, product managers and writers.
Common routes in
  • Degree — design, human–computer interaction, psychology or computing are common starting points.
  • Apprenticeship or short course — practical routes exist in some countries; quality varies, so check carefully.
  • Portfolio — employers usually ask to see how you approach problems, not only final screens.
Next step suggestion: compare design degrees in Study Abroad, or talk the options through with an adviser.
