Search online for UX jobs and you\u2019ll soon see for yourself: a degree is not a deal-breaker in the field.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"which-degree-is-best-for-ux-design\"><strong>Which degree is best for UX design?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To reiterate: A degree is not necessary for becoming a UX designer. But, if you do want to complete one, you may be wondering which fields of study are most closely related to UX.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Consider the following pathways:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Human-Computer Interaction (HCI):<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> This is the study of how people interact with websites, software, and computer systems. You\u2019ll learn how to conduct user-centric research, design intuitive interfaces and create prototypes, and conduct usability tests. A degree in HCI will equip you with many UX-related hard skills which you can transfer directly to the field.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><b>Psychology: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is a research-heavy degree which will teach you how to conduct and analyse both qualitative and quantitative research\u2014a skill which is immediately applicable to UX design. Not only that; you\u2019ll develop an understanding of how people think, feel, and behave, which is a critical aspect of creating user-friendly products as a designer. <\/span><\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>(Computer) Graphic Design: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Depending on the exact school and program, a degree in graphic design can span anything from website design and animation to print design, colour theory, typography, layouts, and how to edit and process photos and images (to name just a few). As the name suggests, this is a design-heavy degree with obvious connections to UX. <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Digital Communications and Multimedia: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is a highly practical degree pathway which will teach you both artistic and technical proficiency in a range of digital media. Potential topics and areas of focus include design principles, interactive and motion design, computer programming basics, and audio and video production. <\/span><\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Product Design: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A degree in product design will explore all the different applications of design, focusing on critical thinking and problem-solving as well as hard skills such as sketching, prototyping, creating 3D computer models, and designing with user needs in mind. As with graphic design, you\u2019ll come away with many soft and technical skills which are directly applicable to UX.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And what if you want to learn UX design without completing a degree? Let\u2019s consider some alternatives.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<section id=\"promotion\" class=\"promotion-content-raw inlinepromo inlinepromo_professional-certificate-in-ui-designp-1 my-4\" style=\"\">\n\t<div class=\"w-container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"row align-items-center\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"col-md-12 promotion-info\">\n                <a class=\"link-content\" href=\"https:\/\/www.uxdesigninstitute.com\/courses\/ui-design?utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=blog_panel_text&amp;utm_campaign=blog_promo\" style=\"\">\n                    <p>[GET CERTIFIED IN UI DESIGN]<\/p>\n                    <span>Take our Professional Certificate in UI Design course<\/span>\n                <\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n<h2 id=\"what-are-the-best-ux-design-courses\"><strong>Becoming a UX designer without a degree: What are the best UX design courses and qualifications?\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Perhaps you\u2019ve already done a degree and have no desire to go back to university. Maybe a degree was never on the cards and you just want a more concise, flexible, and affordable way to learn UX and get hired as a designer.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fortunately, there are plenty of alternatives which don\u2019t require years of study or a huge financial investment. Here are some other routes you can take to learn UX design.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Free UX design courses<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re starting from scratch, consider a free UX course (or several). This will give you a high-level overview of the field and introduce you to some of the key concepts and principles. While such courses won\u2019t be sufficient to get you hired as a designer, they will give you a good theoretical foundation to start from. Our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uxdesigninstitute.com\/courses\/free-ux-design-course\/\">Introduction to UX Design <\/a><\/span>is a great way to see if UX is for you.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>A paid UX design course<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/explodingtopics.com\/blog\/elearning-statistics\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">e-learning market is growing exponentially each year<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, which is excellent news for budding UX designers who want to avoid the traditional degree route. And, with a variety of different formats available, it shouldn\u2019t be too difficult to find a course that suits you.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the most popular options are flexible online courses which have you working through the curriculum mostly independently, at your own pace. This is ideal if you already have a job and\/or other commitments that you need to work around\u2014and if you\u2019re self-motivated and happy to learn without regular classes or contact hours.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uxdesigninstitute.com\/courses\/ux-design\"><b>Professional Diploma in UX Design<\/b><\/a> is the perfect place to start<b>.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0A flexible, university credit-rated online course requiring around 5 hours of study per week for 6 months. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>A UX design bootcamp<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019ve got the time, funds, and energy to dive into UX full-time, you might consider a UX bootcamp.\u00a0 Bootcamps tend to be resource and time-intensive.

No UX designer, new or seasoned, should miss out on that.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are lots of different ways to network in the industry, both online and offline. You don\u2019t need to be an extravert or a dedicated UX socialite.
