About half a billion people play a computer game every day! They come from every corner of the world and are just as diverse as our planet is! At Futuregames of course we see diversity as an essential part of everything we do, from the students who study with us to the staff and teachers we employ. But diversity is also crucial for the games we make! We want to break norms, make real change and inspire future generations to see games as inclusive, safe and as truly creative spaces. We want to be ambitious; we don’t think that games just give us places to play but are vital for our future development. They’re an important part of our lives, our cultural diversity, they provide the social spaces where we meet and frame the way we will communicate with each other now and in the future.
Ok! these are big words! But if we really want to be diverse it’s not about what we say about what we want to do, but what we are doing every day.
We have identified a number of critical factors during all the courses we have conducted, which strengthens the success of this pedagogy.
Our Vision
To provide each individual with the competence and the context to be able to contribute to sustainable change for themselves and for society.
Our Mission
To be a school that provides innovative educations that give people updated skills and tools to solve today’s and tomorrow’s challenges.
Futuregames programs are accredited and regulated by Swedish National Agency for Higher Vocational Education MYH. Currently we operate in Stockholm, Umeå, Boden, Skellefteå, Malmö and Karlstad and you can find all our current programs at our locations here.
Our programs are classified as Higher Vocational Educations. This type of post high school education was developed by the Swedish Government as a response to the direct needs of the labor market and MYH carry out regular evaluations and inspections of all accredited schools. A key part of the YH system is the requirement that more than 80% of the graduated students find a job within the industry within six months of completing their education.
This acts as guarantee that we are completely focused on maintaining our close ties with the industry and making sure that all our students find jobs as soon as they graduate.
Futuregames educations are very popular and we get lots of applicants. Because of this we offer our preparatory course. This is a three-week long course that gives you the chance to improve the work samples that are necessary for your Futuregames application.
