Is masters in ui/ux do they teach tools and is it worth it having a masters degree in ui/ux?

Featured Replies

Hi
I am Akanksha 
I have interest in UI/UX design and wanted to pursue masters in ui/ ux design in UK
So , my question is does it include ui design too?
Because I have more interest in ui designing 
Do they teach the tools required for it(more practical based) like figma etc?

And the course is for 1 yr in UK

And is it worth it?

Hi Akanksha,

It's been a while since you posted this but in case you're still questioning this, here's my opinion.

What do you want to get out of it, if you did a Masters degree? If it's a certification you can show to future employers, then I would say save the thousands of pounds and enroll in one of the popular online courses instead. These will give you great functional skills and in a shorter timeframe too.

If you pair this knowledge with the endless library that is the internet and all of the great tutorials people put out on platforms such as YouTube for free, then you'll be in much better position than if you had gone to university.

The problem with university, and this is just my experience, is that they tell you about things rather than sitting down and actually teaching you how to effectively use it, this isn't even taking into account how to use it in a real-world environment.

I hope this helps in some way, feel free to tag me to continue the conversation.
