Digital User Experience (UX) Professional Degree Apprenticeship
The Digital User Experience (UX) Apprenticeship combines degree-level study with practical, work-relevant learning, equipping apprentices with the skills needed to create impactful online experiences across a wide range of sectors, including creative industries, technology, manufacturing, and finance.
As businesses increasingly prioritise user-centred design, UX has become a vital skill set. This course builds the academic and practical foundations needed to research, analyse, and design engaging digital products and services. Apprentices will explore how innovative user experiences can solve real-world business challenges and enhance customer satisfaction.
The Digital UX Degree Apprenticeship is a three-year programme designed to equip learners with the skills to meet professional standards in digital user experience design.
