Hello and Welcome to the MA UX Design @ LSDM!
Thank you for your interest in our UX Design Course. This programme is more than a traditional learning experience; it is an interactive community of talented individuals like yourself, committed to exploring and expanding the boundaries of user experience design. Our students engage in innovative work across key areas such as Interaction, User Interface, and Accessibility Design, showcasing the power and relevance of a contemporary, academically rigorous online education in UX design.
Our curriculum is positioned to prioritise a solid theoretical foundation, essential for creative and practical problem-solving within UX design. Theoretical knowledge is complemented by hands-on experience, including simulations, wireframing, prototyping, and project-based individual and collaborative exercises. These practical components strengthen user-centred design approaches, creativity, and technical proficiency, preparing students to address real-world UX challenges effectively.
Developed by a team of UX design experts, the course cultivates diverse skills necessary for today’s UX professionals. Our mission is to deepen the essential competencies that drive modern UX design: Empathy, Critical Thinking, Communication, and Collaboration.
LSDM’s digital learning environment employs a student-focused approach, making content accessible anytime, anywhere. This flexibility allows students to balance coursework with other commitments, fostering crucial professional skills such as time and resource management, independent research, and iterative conceptualisation, all of which embed a critical thinking ethos at the core of their UX practice.
Throughout each course module, students benefit from continuous support from our experienced tutor centre, where they receive feedback and guidance. Additionally, regular synchronous sessions—including labs and forums—allow students to showcase their evolving projects and engage in insightful discussions with peers, tutors, and the course leader.
LSDM’s UX Design Course is, therefore, tailored to support your creative growth and guide you towards a career in user experience design. If you aspire to be a thoughtful designer, a strategic thinker, and an original contributor to the field of UX, we invite you to join our global learning community.
