As the leading authority on UX/UI design bootcamps, the team at Course Report has been researching, tracking, and sharing updates on the design bootcamp industry since 2013. Each year, we use our knowledge and expertise to curate a list of the top user experience design bootcamps around the world. Put simply, these are the 16 design schools we would recommend to our own family and friends.
These bootcamps teach students the skills to become a web designer, user experience designer, or user interface designer by teaching design thinking, user research, wireframing and tools like Sketch, Figma, Adobe, and more. In 2022, you'll also see AR/VR Design, AI Design, and Product Design courses on this list.
To create this list, we considered UX/UI design bootcamps around the world. We look for the following qualities when selecting schools for this Best Bootcamps list:
Bootcamps in the Rising Stars category have stood out to us because they’ve been rated highly by alumni, shown growth over the last year, or demonstrated a proven curriculum.
This list is not a ranking, but rather design programs are listed alphabetically. Remember, there is no objective "best UX/UI design boot camp" for everyone - the best school for you depends on your own learning style, availability, career goals, location etc. The following is a list of 16 quality UX/UI design bootcamps, but no matter how many accolades a school has, do your research: read reviews, talk to alumni, visit the classroom, and ask about job outcomes data. Wondering where to start? Check out our Ultimate Guide to UX/UI Design Bootcamps, featuring answers to our most frequently asked questions. This list includes in-person and online bootcamps.
When UX bootcamps stand out in certain areas, we award them the following Badges of Honor:
Marketing partnerships that Course Report may have with schools on this list bear no weight in the ranking process.

About NYU Tandon School of Engineering | Bootcamps
NYU Tandon School of Engineering offers a 24-week Professional Certificate in UX and Emerging Interaction Design bootcamp and a 28-week Professional Certificate in AR/VR Development and 3D Graphics bootcamp. Both NYU bootcamps are offered online and require a time commitment of 15-20 hours per week.
In the UX and Emerging Interaction Design bootcamp, students will learn the foundations of UX and XR, UX methodologies and processes, non-visual interfaces, and industry standard tools for creating XR environments. The bootcamp culminates in a design sprint and UX capstone project to be completed for a corporate partner.
In the AR/VR Development and 3D Graphics bootcamp, students will learn how to use scripting to create, navigate, and customize 3D graphic assets to construct interactive virtual environments. Students will learn how to apply C# programming to customize Unity components and how to understand the roles, interactions, and workflows within the XR developmental ecosystem. Students will create a portfolio with a variety of digital samples, including a final project that features a prototype, pitch, and documentation.
The UX and Emerging Interaction Design bootcamp is designed for professionals pursuing UX design careers with an interest in working with emerging technologies. Applicants should have foundational visual design skills, experience with Adobe Photoshop/Illustrator, and a desire to work with emerging AR, VR, and voice technologies.
The AR/VR Development and 3D Graphics bootcamp is designed for professionals or students with a computer science degree or equivalent development experience who want to learn XR essentials and fundamentals for developing in Unity to build AR and VR experiences. Applicants are required to have scripting language experience and fundamental quantitative and analytical skills (Algebra I is the minimum requirement).
All bootcamp students will receive one-on-one and small group mentoring with industry experts, support in navigating technical interviews, and career coaching for resume building, presentation and negotiation skills, and interview preparation. Bootcamp students will learn best practices for developing and presenting technical content to a non-technical audience.
Upon successful bootcamp completion, students will be awarded a verified digital certificate by NYU Tandon. Flexible and deferred payment options may be available.

Says: Great Program
A UX bootcamp is likely the fastest, most secure way to get a UX Designer job. A UX Design Bootcamp teaches the proper skills, thinking patterns, and tools needed to complete the design process from start to finish. There is also a heavy emphasis on building your design portfolio in a bootcamp.
If you already have some design experience or a degree, a bootcamp is definitely the route for you. A bootcamp is less expensive, faster, and more tailored to your needs than a college degree. Most bootcamps offer career counseling, mentoring, or even a job guarantee so that you can get a job once you’ve graduated.
UX Design bootcamps cost anywhere from $3,000-$13,000.
The best design course for you depends on your own learning style, career goals, availability, etc. Be sure that the UX bootcamp teaches the most modern UX tools like Figma, Sketch, and AdobeXD? And ask About Projects – in the world of design, your portfolio can be more valuable than a resume. At a good UX design bootcamp, you'll build at least 2-3 projects to add to your design portfolio!
Watch out for Red Flags at a UX bootcamp – the bootcamp doesn't offer any access to live mentorship or project feedback and review, can't tell you about past student career success, or teaches an outdated curriculum.
