The UI/UX Design Internship Program is designed to provide students with hands-on experience in designing intuitive and visually appealing user interfaces, as well as optimizing user experiences for websites and mobile applications. Interns will learn the core principles of UI/UX design, work with design tools, and gain practical experience in conducting user research, prototyping, wireframing, and usability testing.
This program will give students a deep understanding of user-centered design principles, and how to create products that are not only functional but also delightful to use. By the end of the internship, interns will have a portfolio of UI/UX design projects and the skills necessary to pursue a career in the fast-growing field of design.
