The Experience
Full-time students work hard and play hard. Throughout your 10 weeks, you’ll be dedicating a lot of hours to building your skills, and it will likely be one of the most rewarding experiences of your life. Though the curriculum is intense, the learning environment is fun and collaborative, and you are learning from some of New York’s most talented digital Designers.
I entered the UX Design program with the intent of changing my career path entirely and that's exactly what happened, even faster than I could have imagined. BrainStation has given me the skills and tools necessary to enter the tech workforce with confidence. It also has given me a newfound passion and career path that I have fully embraced, all thanks to the support of the educators at BrainStation.

How You'll Learn
Delivery
You’ll be immersed in hands-on and collaborative digital design training, working alongside some of New York’s most talented Designers. The curriculum is project-based, which mimics real-world design experience and gives you the opportunity to apply the concepts you’re learning.
Adaptive Curriculum
The course curriculum is constantly iterated on to reflect the strategies, tools and processes used by industry professionals, ensuring you are learning the most up-to-date tools and resources.
Become a Lifelong Learner
We also put a strong emphasis on teaching you ‘how to learn’; this means you’ll graduate the program armed with the ability to problem solve and think like a Designer outside of the classroom.
“You will not only learn hands-on skills in your respective field of study, but also learn how to learn. Our educational delivery model reflects this; you will be pushed to challenge your own assumptions and adopt new mindsets on the regular. This iterative approach to learning is indeed intense, and is only possible thanks to the extensive support you will receive from our talented Educators who are also expert lifelong learners themselves.”
