A few of the many reasons to
study at Futureworks…
At Futureworks, we pride ourselves on promoting a vibrant and interconnected creative community through our three main schools: the School of Art & Design, the School of Sound & Music Production, and the School of Film, Television & Media.
Similar to how global creative communities overlap and collaborate to create films, games, and music, our students are encouraged to do the same. By working together across all three of our schools, Futureworks students learn important people and communication skills, which are vital when they graduate into a career in the creative industries.
Futureworks has maintained its specialist creative mentality and proven itself adaptable and agile, rapidly responding to a swiftly evolving and changing industry. By continuing to work with tutors who are practising industry professionals, investing wisely in new technology, and nurturing a proactive industry advisory group, Futureworks has flourished into a thriving creative community and a respected provider of higher education in the UK and beyond.

Our quality assurance processes enable us to safeguard the academic standards of the courses we offer and provide you with the best possible student experience whilst you are studying with us.
“I thoroughly enjoyed my time at Futureworks, pursuing a degree in Visual Effects. It was filled with intense learning, creativity, and countless hours developing my skill set. The tutors were always helpful and ready to go out of their way to give extra guidance when needed. Over the course of the degree, I feel I developed a strong set of connections. I was honoured to win an award at the end of my course and managed to secure a great industry job”
