The User Experience Design (UX) Course is an executive Course with lessons and practical activities for digital professionals who want to learn User Experience (UX) methods and tools, from research with users to prototyping, up to qualitative assessment.
The Course aims to train professionals of the User Experience who are autonomously able to design the Information Architecture and the interface of the new digital services starting from the requirements provided by the Customer and using the specific methodologies and tools of the discipline, working both in team and individually within a business context or self-employment.
The Course includes 4 didactic modules including the final presentation of the works. It provides a daily commitment of 8 hours for a total of 11 days. To allow the attendance also to people who are already working, the formula has been chosen that includes lessons and exercise activities on Friday and Saturday. Frontal and tutorial modules are provided.
The exercises will be managed on real cases with the involvement of companies and professionals who will guide the participants in a context as close as possible to the working and professional reality.
Training, creativity, inspiration, and networking. A blend of professionalism and passion!
The course has provided me with useful tools in the professional world, enabling me to transition from a more general role to a greater specialization within this field, thus becoming a more well-rounded professional.
Thanks to the course, I’ve enhanced my work and strengthened my impact in delivering truly human-centered services to Italian universities.
Thanks to the course, I’ve prioritized the “whys” rather than immediately worrying about the “hows”.
With this course I was interested in updating my skills, starting from ergonomics and anthropology, measuring myself with the new orientations of these disciplines towards the digital world.
I chose to participate in this course because coming from marketing I found myself more than once communicating with professionals from the UX, design and planning fields, and I wanted to find a point of dialogue and common convergence.
I deal with developing software solutions to support clinical activities in the field of telemedicine. The course allowed me to learn the basic notions of User Experience design which I will then have the opportunity to deepen and insert into daily working practice.
The course represented a moment of strong professional and human growth: it was interesting because we had the opportunity to work in a heterogeneous group on a real project, developed together, to then arrive at a concrete result, despite the different backgrounds of the participants.
I decided to attend the course to broaden my horizons from the design to the development phase. In particular, it helped me to focus on the first part, through the research and analysis phases to define the communication architecture and the flow of the user experience.
I am very satisfied with this course: it was very useful because not having a background as a designer (I have a degree in geology) it filled many methodological gaps.
After graduating from the Milan Polytechnic, I moved abroad and currently work in Zurich. This course helped me a lot to complete my professional profile and to develop a new network of collaborations in Italy.
After graduating in economics and marketing at Bocconi, I have been working at IBM for more than a year and increasingly in our projects it is important to have a user centered approach, to be able to manage a user experience project alongside a team of developers and analysts. This course was very useful because it gave me the fundamental tools and project guidelines through a clear and effective methodology.
After studying graphics and art direction, I specialized in interface design and I realized that to create one correctly, one must first understand who uses it and their needs. For this reason, the course was fundamental and will be the first in a series of in-depth studies in this direction.
I wanted to take this course to be able to create graphics that are more aware of the needs of a user while using an interface. It was a very stimulating experience because I came into contact with a working method that allowed me to understand the importance of the user’s role in graphic design.
Attendance at the course is mandatory for 75%.

UXD can work for agencies, start-ups, companies or as a freelancer.
The application areas are multiple, potentially applicable to all sectors (financial, editorial, sports, fashion …), digital formats (community, e-commerce, configurators, corporate sites …) and are in further expansion, thanks to increase in formats and devices (not least the wearable trend, on the wave of the Internet of Things).
