After successfully completing the first year of the Digital Enterprise programme, you can choose to specialise by progressing into the second-year foundation degree in User Experience (UX). This pathway prepares you to design accessible, engaging, and user-focused digital experiences through a strong combination of creative thinking, technical skills, and industry practice. In this year, you'll develop your ability to research, prototype, and evaluate design solutions using modules such as User-Centred Design, Prototyping, Design Principles, and Technoculture & Design Ethics. You'll also explore project management practices and gain real-world experience through Work-Based Learning. Tools like Figma and Adobe XD are embedded throughout the programme, helping you build a portfolio of interactive prototypes, artefacts, and reports grounded in real user insight. Whether you're designing wireframes, testing usability, or considering ethical design decisions, this pathway gives you the confidence and skillset to start a professional journey into UX design, research, and digital product development.
