With a new semester coming up at Futuregames, we’d like to take a look at what awaits our students when they graduate. The class of 2012 graduated recently and even though it has only been a couple of months nearly 85% of the students got employed, and more than 50% of them were employed by their LiA companies.
LiA internships make up one third of the education and is performed in a workplace. This is where our students combine theoretical knowledge with real life experience of the industry, with guidance and mentoring from experienced game industry proffesionals.
We take pride in the fact that 80% of our past students now work in the game and film industry. The class of 2012 has set a new record for us when it comes to getting employed as a direct result of their LiA internships. Out of 33 students, a total of 26 have employment and 20 of those are now employed by their LiA companies. Those are some pretty impressive numbers!
Now, let’s have a look at who went where!
