Your Bootcamp
The UX/UI Bootcamp is an intensive program designed for you to get started with UX/UI design. Over 18 weeks, you'll learn everything from user research and wireframing to creating high-fidelity prototypes using industry-standard tools like Figma. You'll dive into designing intuitive interfaces for both web and mobile platforms while building a professional portfolio to showcase your skills.
Key Course Information
Duration: 18 weeks (March 10 - July 18, 2025)
Schedule: Three times a week (Mondays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays, 19:00-21:00)
Format: Hybrid learning (online sessions with optional on-site activities)
Time commitment: Approximately 20 hours per week (including sessions and independent work)
Learning approach: Project-based learning
Course Structure
This course follows a project-based learning approach where you'll apply concepts directly through hands-on projects:
User Research Project - Master research plans, user interviews, personas, and journey maps
Mobile Application Design - Create empathy maps, task analyses, user flows, and prototypes
Dashboard Design - Develop a complete web application from research to final presentation
The full curriculum with weekly breakdowns, reading materials, and exercises is available on our GitHub repository.
Each project builds on the previous one, gradually introducing more advanced concepts while reinforcing what you've already learned. The project-based approach ensures that you learn design theory and apply your skills to create user-centered designs.
Supportive Material and concept explanations can be found here in your Student Hub. Have a look at the Foundations and Project sections.
Milestones
The projects are broken down into weekly milestones. Every week, you work on one milestone. This milestone is basically your homework. You finish one part of the project each week and build it over time. You present your weekly milestone in the Coaching Session.
Weekly Structure
Each week consists of three key session types:
Monday - Q&A Session (19:00-21:00)
Ask questions about your project and newly learned concepts
Practice concepts with hands-on activities guided by teachers
Get support when you're stuck on your project
Wednesday - Coaching Session (19:00-21:00)
Present your weekly project milestones in small groups
Coaches will provide feedback, guidance, and problem-solving support
A highly interactive session to ensure you can apply newly learned concepts effectively
Thursday - Regular Class (19:00-21:00)
Teachers will introduce new topics through theory and live demonstrations
You'll participate in guided exercises and hands-on practice
At the end of the session, you'll receive your next project milestone
Between sessions: You'll work independently on your weekly milestone, spending approximately 14-16 hours per week on design development and self-study.
On-site Activities
Depending on your location, you'll have different opportunities to participate in on-site activities:
We offer four on-site community events for the Berlin students throughout the semester.
