Curriculum
What you will learn, stage by stage
Month 1 · Visual Craft Mastery
Typography at depth — pairing, scale systems, rhythm; colour systems with accessibility-safe palettes; grids, spacing scales and layout composition. Daily craft drills with live critique, rebuilding real product screens to professional standard. Deliverable: a visual-craft portfolio piece that demonstrates control, not templates.
Month 2 · Design Systems: Tokens to Governance
Design tokens from primitives to semantic layers; Figma variables, modes and theming; resilient component architecture with variants and properties; documentation developers actually read; versioning, contribution and adoption strategy. Deliverable: a working mini design system — tokens, core components, docs — built on a real product.
Month 3 · Motion, Accessibility & System Portfolio
Micro-interactions and motion principles that clarify rather than decorate; WCAG 2.2 implementation — focus order, semantics, assistive-tech checks; Dev Mode handoff and code-connect thinking. Capstone: extend your system into a themed, mode-switching library defended before a systems-lead critique. Deliverable: a design-system case study that targets senior UI and systems roles.
Why this programme
Three reasons learners choose it
Craft drills weekly
Rebuild challenges that train speed and structure, not just theory.
A real system audit
Your capstone system is audited live by a practising systems lead.
Governance included
Versioning, contribution and adoption — the part most courses skip.
In the studio with
Your mentors on this programme
Like the best professional schools, every course names its instructors. These practitioners lead the studios, critiques and juries for this programme.

Certification & FAQ
A certificate that means something when someone checks it.
You're assessed on real project work and a final portfolio jury — not attendance. Every graduate receives a certificate with a unique, verifiable ID. Assessment rubrics are public.
Is this beginner-friendly?
No — you should be comfortable in Figma and have shipped UI. Beginners should start with the Professional Certificate.
How often do batches start?
Every 15 days, alternating evening and weekend cohorts; the next four dates are shown above.
Do I need to code?
No, but you'll leave speaking component-API fluently with developers, and your handoff files will show it.
What exactly is assessed?
Weekly craft drills, a documented design system built through the programme, and a final live audit of that system by a practising systems lead.
Will this help me at my current job immediately?
Yes — token architecture, governance and documentation are applied to your real work from week two; many learners refactor their company's files during the course.
Does the certificate mention design systems specifically?
Yes — the credential names the specialisation, is audit-assessed, and carries a verifiable ID.
Is the scholarship applicable to this course?
Yes — Scholarship Entrance Test discounts (up to 30%) apply to every programme, including this one.
