01
Learn from industry experts
Our courses are all led by experienced design professionals working within the industry.
They are all equipped with industry experience of helping students to develop their knowledge, improve and prepare them for new opportunities.
02
Real projects, real clients.
Our ‘learn by doing’ practical approach gives our students the perfect opportunity to apply what they have learnt straight away in the real world.
Through individual and group tasks, you will work on a real project brief with a real client. This gives you a taste of the ‘real’ working environment and allows you to build working relationships.
03
Classes capped at 8 students
Our small class sizes allow the instructor to spend more time with each student discussing key concepts, providing feedback on work, answering specific questions, and sharing the wealth of experience they have to offer.
Benefit from valuable critique as you learn the design process and build foundational skills.
Learn by Doing.
A comprehensive course covering user research tactics, design thinking, stakeholder management, user experience (UX) and user interface design (UI) – all of which come together to play an important role in making successful design decisions.
Becoming a User Experience designer.
You will learn all the fundamental methods and tools in this UI and UX design course to become a user experience designer including how to conduct effective user research, building empathy and experience maps, understanding how to write good user stories, and more.
A series of online tools (such as Figma and Figjam) will be used to apply the learnings and capture key insights.
Classes are live, and held twice a week online via Zoom (from 6:30pm-8:30pm London time) either on Monday and Wednesday evenings, or Tuesday and Thursday evenings, depending on your chosen start date.
Expected Weekly Commitment
In addition to the 4 hours of class time each week, we expect each student to dedicate an additional 4–6 hours of homework on a weekly basis—this is essential for truly grasping the tools and methods taught along the way.
Our applied learning approach means you’ll be working on a live client brief as part of a team, where everyone plays a crucial role in moving the project forward. This course is designed to be a hands-on, collaborative experience that mirrors the real-world working environment.

Maggzie Walczak
UX Strategist at PA Consulting
What convinced me to enroll was your UI - which was far better than competitors'! It was very clear what I would get out of the course and the amount of work I'd need to put in. I also really likes the Venture School approach - It's very creative and innovative!
Marie Devaux
Project Manager at Pfizer
It was ideal, as it's after working hours, I could still work 9-5 and persue my own personal development. Also twice a week felt like the right amount, not too much but enough to keep momentum and give me time to work on the project and my portfolio in my own time.
Francesca Tiley
Product Designer at Inktrap
The best thing was working with other people and getting a real client brief. I looke forward to each session so much and everyone was really lovely. It always felt like a really nice environment, even though it was on Zoom!
Tom Sanderson
Creative Director at The Parish.com
I thought Burak was a brilliant coach and mentor. He made the course for me. He knows so much about UX, and is very generous sharing his experience and ideas.
Gabrielle Corbett
UX Designer at ScreenMedia
There were a number of things that led me to do the course at Experience Haus: the small class size, the live project to put on our portfolios and the cost. I also chatted to someone who had done the course before who had done a complete career pivot similar to myself and that really helped.

Apply your learnings on real client projects.
Early in the course you will be assigned a real client as a team, and will work on a live brief for them. You will apply your learnings to the project as the course unfolds.
The culmination of this project will be you presenting your process, findings and takeaways back to the client.
By the time you graduate from this course you will have a full end-to-end case study to add to your professional portfolio. We advise adding a few more projects to the portfolio, so by using your learnings from this course you will have the framework to work on other projects with best practises.
