This week I attended the Futureworks graduation ceremony - the second part of my graduation process if you will! The UCLan graduation back in June was fantastic, exactly the sort of big, loud and fancy hat and gown affair you’d want from an academic institution at the culmination of your studies. However, it did feel a little strange celebrating on an alien campus that I’d never visited before, and a bit incomplete without the company of the diligent tutors who have helped guide me and my peers through our higher education journey.
Thankfully, those feelings of incompleteness were soon alleviated when this second graduation ceremony rolled around! The Futureworks graduation ceremony at the Royal Northern College of Music was more of a personal and homely event where me and my fellow graduates could catch up with our tutors and celebrate everyone’s hard work over the past three years.
Just typing that out last sentence feels really weird, can’t believe things have flown by that quickly! Time really does fly when you’re having fun and studying alongside awesome folks working on the coolest projects!
It was really fantastic to see all the various films, albums, animations and games my fellow students have produced during our time at Futureworks, and it felt great to celebrate their effort, grit and determination and see their hard work displayed up on the big cinema screen of the RNCM!
I was also incredibly honoured to be presented with an award for Best Student on the BSc Game & Interactive Audio course!
My certificates and award for Best Student on the Game & Interactive Audio course! I was absolutely over the moon when I got called up to the stage to receive it!
Congratulations and all the best to the Futureworks class of ‘19!
