The best way to learn UX is to do it.
UX Academy was built on a simple observation: the best way to learn UX design is with a real instructor, on a real project, with a small group of people at the same stage as you. Not videos. Not slides. Design, get feedback, iterate, get unstuck in real time.
Premium live UX bootcamps run into the thousands — General Assembly’s London course is £9,000. We thought that was too much. We built a school that keeps cohorts small, keeps instructors named and accountable, and keeps prices a fraction of the premium bootcamps: from £1,500 for the 8-week foundation, stackable to a full £3,000 career programme of around 20 weeks — including real work experience at a start-up, something rivals simply don’t offer.
Our graduates now work at companies across the UK. Every cohort includes a real client project. Every instructor is an active practitioner.
