Overview
Have you ever wanted to know how to design your own app or website using industry-standard software?
Figma is the industry standard tool for designing websites, apps and more. It’s growing in popularity because of its collaboration-based potential as well as its low barrier to entry (it’s free to use).
What you will learn
UI Design (or User Interface Design) uses a range of clear design principles that enable you to create highly accessible apps or web experiences.
On this Figma and UI Introduction course, you’ll master the essentials of Figma and explore its powerful features, from user experience design and real-time collaboration to building and managing component libraries.
The course at Nottingham Trent University offers practical, hands-on training in designing intuitive interfaces and crafting smooth user interactions.
Whether you're new to design or looking to sharpen your skills, you'll gain the tools and confidence to bring your UX and prototyping ideas to life.
