About the Course

Foundations of User Experience (UX) Design is the first of a series of seven courses that will equip you with the skills needed to apply to entry-level jobs in user experience design. UX designers focus on the interactions that people have with products like websites, mobile apps, and physical objects. UX designers make those everyday interactions usable, enjoyable, and accessible. The role of an entry-level UX designer might include empathizing with users, defining their pain points, coming up with ideas for design solutions, creating wireframes, prototypes, and mockups, and testing designs to get feedback. Current UX designers and researchers at Google will serve as your instructors, and you will complete hands-on activities that simulate real-world UX design scenarios. Learners who complete the seven courses in this certificate program should be equipped to apply for entry-level jobs as UX designers. No previous experience is necessary. By the end of this course, you will be able to: - Define the field of UX and explain why it’s important for consumers and businesses. - Understand foundational concepts in UX design, such as user-centered design, the design thinking framework, accessibility, and equity-focused design. - Identify the factors that contribute to great user experience design. - Review common job responsibilities of entry-level UX designers and teams that they work with. - Explore job opportunities and career paths within the field of user experience. - Explain why design sprints are an important and useful part of a UX designer’s work. - Describe common UX research methods. - Identify and account for biases in UX research....

This course inspired me, before taking this course I have been used some UX Design communities, I have worked in Adobe XD Design. This course explains the right way and UX process. I like this mentor.

It was a really insightful and super engaging course. I loved every bit of it and I learned a lot from each week's module. If you are looking for a course in UX Design that has a very easy self-paced schedule, and one that explains everything in detail, I would recommend signing up for this course. I can guarantee that if you put in the necessary time, you will not regret it.

It was well-paced and provided a comprehensive introduction. It might be too easy for someone who already has some UX design or learning development experience, but it's nonetheless a useful consolidation. The exercises are not particularly challenging - they serve more as a review and confirmation that you have listened to and read the information presented in each session.

The most interesting thing I learned was about UI/UX. Before taking this course, I had limited knowledge, but through the course, I delved deeper into topics like types of UX designers, other roles in UX, the product development life cycle, and UX designer responsibilities. I'm confident this course will help me create a strong portfolio and land a job in a high-end company.

I loved the first course. For those who do not have English as their mother tongue, like me, it is not difficult to understand, the teacher speaks very slowly, has subtitles and also under the video there is a text with everything he said in the video. The readings also help a lot, it's very explanatory. I liked very much. I am very happy that I completed the first course .

Excellent course if you're interested in UX Design. I already thought I knew a lot, but boy was I wrong. The step by step lessons really broke everything down in an easy to understand & easy to follow along process. I not only learned the entire UX Design process from start to finish, but also gained a better understanding of the various roles within the UX design field.

A very method-oriented way of UXD thinking is taught through each module. Videos are also supported by written content to be able to grasp better. The best part is the flexibility to take and revisit the course material. I would be on the lookout for more of these. I hope learning continues to be as easily accessible and cost-effective as this. Thank you Google & Coursera!

1. Universal, Inclusive & Equity-focused Design

2. UX Research

Thank you @Google and Coursera for this great opportunity.

I really appreciate for this thoughtful lecture. Especially, I love the part about imposter syndrome, because now I prepare to move to UX field from another field, and I was intimidated. You gave me courage and empathy.

And the lecture is not only teaching UX Design thories, but also informing mindset and introducing excluded users, too. It was so considerate.

Thanks a lot.

My User ID is 16613562139389478754 and I have just completed Foundations of User Experience (UX) Design course, and wanted to complete rest of the 6 courses. It will take another 3-4 months as I am working. I have mistakenly paid again a months subscription, can you please extend it to six months as I am ready to pay rest of the amount. Request you please grant my appeal.

I feel that Course 1 definitely prepared me to move on to the second course. The material covered was concise and never made me feel anxious. It was a step by step process that built upon itself and made sure that us, the viewer/ user, were always comfortable and aware of what the course material was understandable. Thank you Google and Coursera for being such a big help!

For anyone starting this course or still confused read this. This course not only gives foundation to UX Design knowledge but also introduction to the career for UX Designers. There are certain challenges in the professional life for which no one prepared us for neither in schools nor in college, but this course has a different approach to education for us. All the best!

I find it difficult for the part with personal branding, as a beginner it is difficult to know what skills you have that can help you in the UX Design field. Also the part with approaching a UX Senior it is pretty soon in the course since you have no idea what is what. But overall the first course was very informative and very insightful and a good start for beginners :)

I fascinate about this course that creates a buzz to deep dive into the course and explores the remaining courses to learn more intensively. The structure of this course is perfect for beginners who have no background or experience in this field. Detailed explanation general things are laid the fortified foundation of users. This course is an example of equitable design.

A fantastic introduction to UX Design. I especially appreciate the practical knowledge up-front on what a UX designer does and what types of jobs and responsibilities are entailed. Chocked full of good, practical knowledge that honestly was digestible within a week. I highly recommend this course if you're interested in UX design, but are not sure if it's right for you.

Hi I am Ravindra, Graphic Designer from Bangalore. This course is really too good, anyone willing to get into UI/UX career or already in the field, this course will be beneficial. Because lot of UX/UI terms are explained clearly. It is very illustrative. Fun to learn. I have just completed Week 4. Good luck to those who are upcoming UI/UX Designers from Coursera Google.

This course was awesome. This is the first course of the specialisation, it is hard to comment regarding possible career benefits right now. But, I can undoubtedly say that this course improved my perspective about life and my career. I completed many courses in Coursera and almost never written feedback, maybe a bad case of Imposter Syndrome, as this course discussed!

The number of pop quiz questions which occurs while watching videos, can be increased since it lets us focus more and check ourselves whether we understand the mentioning thing or not. Additionally, while I was using android mobile app version of Coursera, I coincide red lights after choosing the right answer instead of green lights during quizzes, it can be improved.

I loved this course when I first take it in 2021, now I am taking this course once again in 2023 because after graduating from university I tried many fields but I couldn't find myself happy there so I found myself interested in research and User experience field. So now I am here to learn again and work in my dream job to help people use technology better and easier.

I am so glad that I decided to take this course. It has taken my reading, writing and thinking skills to the next level. I love it especially I can do it in my own pace. This course really transform my thought process entirely. I feel I can totally apply the user experience skill on my everyday life.

Thank you Coursera and Google, the course was very informative and I enjoyed it a lot. I wish there was a button to save certain information or highlight information and put them all in my learner's folder so I can revisit them and take a look at them later whenever I want to. There's a lot of information and sometimes I need to remind myself! Otherwise, great course!

Especially helpful and informative for those who are brand new to the world of UX. Those who don't know what UX is and have just heard the term UX here somewhere on the internet, then this course is really very helpful to get an understanding of what UX is and all the related fundamentals and foundations of it. Thank you for this. It was very helpful and fun to learn.

Foundations of User Experience (UX) Design was an incredibly valuable course for anyone who thinks he knows about UX who actually doesn't know. I was one of that kind and the first course itself burned my ego into ashes. I am happy to learn what does UX means for real. I also liked the design sprint process mentioned in the course. A very fruitful course for beginners

From beginning to end, it is an amazing course! Especially for learners who have no prior experience before, everything is explained thoroughly to build a solid foundation. Getting information from several professionals working at Google is a blessing, it helps us see different perspectives and learn from them. I want to thank everyone who contributed to this course!
