Game Art BA (Hons)

University rating (5)

I love the university that I’m currently studying at, they are a small university so that means you can have 1on1 with your teachers as often as you need, the location is easy for me in Salford Manchester because it is close to a shopping centre, the course is really fun and the way they structure it and the teaching is very good with them being strict on you and the dead lines. I w having a blast at this uni with the class mates and the teachers, everyone is down to earth and I haven’t experienced any problems with it and I don’t think I will.

Game Art BA (Hons)

University rating (4)

This is a great university and course to come to if you are coming to university for a good education, this uni feels very focused on providing a great education for their students, tutors are really friendly, helpful and are able to spend more time with you due to smaller class sizes. However, as it is a small uni it does not have the typical uni experience, we don't have a students union or anything like that but the uni does their best to put on events within their budget. Overall, if you want a career in art/music/film and are passionate about your career this is a great place for you.

Music Production BA (Hons)

University rating (5)

Futureworks is not just a university. Futureworks is a community of caring, hard-working creatives who always strive to do the best they can and help out others whenever they can. Studying here for the past few months has been a dream come true, far beyond any expectations I withheld before I started uni. Because Futureworks is quite a small university, the intimacy between tutor and student can't be matched, They're always there to help whether its on e-mail or discord. The facilities are exactly what I was looking for and everything seems very fair. The course itself has a diverse range of topics and knowledgeable/experienced tutors which is what I lacked with my college experience. 10/10 so far can't wait to see what the next few years have in store.

Digital Animation with Illustration BA (Hons)

University rating (5)

To the best aspects of my uni experience were definitely face to face feedback from tutors, which was really helpful and general student support, especially for students mental health and programs that they organised (eg. Many hands, free support sessions with therapist etc) and uni facilities. To the worst aspects, some of the tutors didn't have enough knowledge about the course they were teaching, which made students miss out a lot and didn't learn a lot about certain subjects

Games Design BA (Hons)

University rating (4)

The best thing is that there are some lecturers with real industry experience which often they'll be more than willing go talk about with students. The worse thing is that many of the computers are outdated which makes it harder to work with

Audio Engineering and Production BSc (Hons)

University rating (4)

Overall my uni experience at Futureworks has been great! All the staff are super friendly and helpful who make you feel welcome from the first day. The studios and live rooms include high end equipment which you soon get the hang of even though it can look daunting at first. One thing I would change is the amount of time we have available in the studios outside of lecture hours. Currently we are only able to have 8 hours per week which is 2 sessions. I have found for me personally it’s sometimes not enough if I'm working on a project that's unrelated to my assignments.

Visual Effects BA (Hons)

University rating (3)

Dedicated facilities with industry standard equipment and staff with real industry experience. Some of the equipment is rather old and the two sites are about thirty minutes apart. With class time being the minimum allowed.
