Program Overview

You might explore, for example, how to redesign everyday objects like water taps to be more accessible for people with arthritis. Courses cover topics such as software design, augmented reality, human-computer interaction, evaluating user interfaces, voice commands, colour, icons, sound, and creative thinking.

This certificate stands on its own or can be laddered into any of the Creative Technologies and Design degree programs.

What is User Experience Design?

User Experience (UX) Design is the process of designing products—like websites, apps, or devices—with the user's needs, emotions, and behavior in mind. The goal is to make interactions easy, enjoyable, and effective.
UX designers focus on how something works and how people feel when they use it. This involves researching user habits, creating wireframes or prototypes, testing how people interact with a design, and making improvements based on feedback. It goes beyond how things look—it’s about how they work and how they make people feel.
