Problem-based learning
Students are set challenges which they work on as individuals, come to conclusions on their own and then discuss what has been learned with their assigned group before the next group teaching session.
Assignments
These are specific projects, based on briefs supplied by the student or the instructor. For example, design a research plan to support the design of a digital product to help people quit smoking. The output of assignments are used to encourage and assess learning of students.
Private study
This is simply students learning on their own, guided by a reading list, recommendations from group teaching, or advice offered by the instructor or fellow students. It supports all other types of learning.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Yes. We currently do not offer the course in any other languages, but this is something we hope to do soon.
No as it is not endorsed formally by a professional body or university. However the course:
- includes the same content from leading Human Computer Interaction master degrees
- is peer reviewed by senior UX professionals and
- is based on learnings from Healthcare and UX professionals who teach on the course.
Also, note that many UX institutions do not offer an accredited course, including Nielson Norman Group, General Assembly and Career Foundry.
Yes, issued by the Clinical UX Assocation. Note that this course is not accredited.
No. And no training course can unless they provide jobs themselves.
However, if you apply what is taught to you effectively, it is very possible you can get a job during the 12 months of doing the course.
Yes!
There is a lot of money invested in digital health alone; $111Billion USD globally, set to triple in the next 5 years. The return on this investment comes by making profitable healthcare products and services. This can be achieved by having Healthcare and Clinical UX professionals working on projects.
Of course!
This course was specifically designed for clinicians to either change their career completely, or work part time as a UX professional whilst still working clinically. The course being part time helps with that too.
Yes.
There is debate that UX, Service Design and Customer Experience are different disciplines. However, what is true is that the core skills, knowledge and competencies are shared across all three.
Not at all.
There are many, competent UX professionals who have very little artistic skill, and this is fine. Being good at art is not a requirement unless you want to be a user interface (UI) designer.
You do need to know how to at least express ideas visually, but this is very simple sketching of boxes with labels, or flow diagrams.
No, not at all.
There are many, competent UX professionals who never have to write a line of code. It is not a required for all UX jobs, especially if the project does not involve a digital product.
You do need some aspects of development so you know how it can impact the design and development of digital products. For example, the pros and cons of web based applications versus native mobile applications.
