The best way to learn UX in 2019

Whether you're just starting out or you've been working in UX for years – there are several ways to get ahead in your career. This post lists Bachelor's, Master's, and Advanced Studies programs in Germany, Switzerland, Austria, France, and the UK.

A young field, there is no one best way to learn UX. Both of TestingTime’s founders, for example, originally majored in computer science. Our senior UX researcher, on the other hand, studied cognitive psychology, while our UX designer holds a BEng in print and media technology.

To help you decide where to enrol, we’ve compiled a list of continuing education possibilities in the DACH region, the UK, and France. The Bachelor’s programs are aimed at people looking to start a career in UX. Professionals with some work experience in UX or a closely related field will likely benefit more from the Master’s and Advanced Studies programs. These degrees help to hone essential UX skills and move up through the ranks.

Ismaël Sebbane, who got his Bachelor’s degree at Gobelins, highly recommends it. “Gobelins is a school that unveils your talents by pushing you to your limits, further and further. It helped me reach a level I never thought possible.” He likes the friendly vibe, too: “Everybody always tries to help each other out, it isn’t a competition. I think that is our greatest strength!”
