Build evidence of your process
Develop projects that demonstrate design strategy, project planning, stakeholder communication. Describe your contribution and decisions clearly. A strong project explains why an outcome fits a particular user and context.
Research the work before choosing a title
Read current job descriptions in the country where you want to work. Note the recurring responsibilities, skills and experience requirements. Speak to practitioners about their day-to-day work and compare their descriptions with your assumptions.
Assess programme outcomes carefully
Ask institutions for published outcomes and how the data was collected. Check whether figures describe all graduates, respondents to a survey or a selected group. We do not publish unverified salary bands or placement claims.
