UX/UI Design

UX/UI Design positions have been at the top of the job lists in the creative/tech industries for many years now but demand among employers is still rising, mainly due to the rapid acceleration of digital technologies, the increasing computerization of all aspects of our life and the ongoing transformation of companies to the Industry 4.0 era.

 

You will broaden your perspective in interdisciplinary seminars, workshops, excursions and study trips, and in the 5th semester, you will also have the opportunity to test your acquired design skills in practice in an internship at home or abroad.

Graduates from the UX/UI programme will be equipped with the following competencies:

• Understand and leverage ethnographic research
• Identify and introduce trends in emerging technologies like AR/VR/XR, IoT and AI
• Develop forward-thinking concepts using personas, user journeys, user maps, wireframes etc.
• Create visual design comps and prototypes with industry-standard software (Sketch, Adobe CS, InVision)
• Conduct interactive usability tests
• Collaborate effectively with project stakeholders and partners
• Communicate product vision and strategy both verbally and visually to teams and clients
• Implement together with engineers
• Develop brand guidelines and communication together with marketing

As a UX/UI designer, you can work for startups, design agencies or large corporates, on a freelance basis or even remotely.

According to statistical surveys by StepStone and Glassdoor, UX/UI designers in Germany can expect an average salary of around 40,000 to 50,000 euros per year. Campusjäger mentions that the starting salary after a Bachelor's degree can be somewhat lower at 37,000 euros per year.

Internships, part-time jobs and independent projects can always have an impact on salary negotiations - so with a practice-oriented degree programme like UX/UI Design at UE, you lay valuable foundations for your professional future.
