Background
In today's digital world, user experience (UX) has become an essential part of creating successful products and services. The way users interact with the website or an app can have a significant impact on their engagement with the brand or the organisation. The global User Experience (UX) Market Size was estimated at USD 500 million in 2021 and is projected to reach USD 1.4 bn by 2028, exhibiting a CAGR of 16.40% during the forecast period. Digital economy of India is likely to hit the $1 tn mark by 2030. However, in these times, technology, price, and access is no longer a differentiator and hence UX is where businesses are now competing. UX research will be the next big skill needed in this industry.
The Course
Turian Academy has realized that the courses available in this domain focus largely on 'visual design' aspect while missing the larger picture of innovation and business alignment. Turian Academy's UX Research program is a high-intensity, short-term course focused on preparing high-quality industry-ready professionals who can navigate smoothly through essential concepts, methods, and business strategy alignments. Understanding the wider context of business innovation is crucial for a user experience researcher to align the work with business objectives, understand the competitive landscape, identify opportunities for innovation, and communicate with stakeholders. The course contains a healthy mix of pre-recorded videos, live interaction with experienced mentors, industry-focused assignments and personalized feedback sessions.

What our learners say...
I recently completed the 3-week UX research bootcamp at Turian Academy and it was an incredible learning experience. The course covered a wide range of topics and provided hands-on experience with various research methods and tools. The instructors and the mentors were highly knowledgeable and supportive, and provided valuable feedback on our assignments and projects. The course was well-structured and easy to follow, with engaging lectures and practical exercises, after every module that helped me apply the concepts I learned in real-world scenarios. The live project made us apply the learnings from the videos and actually made us understand the nuances of UX research. I highly recommend Turian Academy to anyone interested in expanding their skills in UX research or pursuing a career in the field.
