Why Choose IVGC+?
We started IVGC with a simple dream: to make game creation education accessible and affordable to everyone, regardless of where they live. When we began, IVGC was entirely free, and thousands of passionate students from around the world joined us.
But recent changes in the Finnish education system introduced fees for Open University courses, making it challenging to keep the course cost-free. Open University Credits now cost between €15-45 each in Finland, which quickly becomes prohibitive, and the system became completely inaccessible to international students.
To keep our mission alive, we introduced IVGC+. For just €9.90/month, you gain access to high-quality, university-level education that would otherwise cost thousands.
In the UK, a year of academic studies can cost over £9,250, and in game-related university courses competition is intense, with thousands of applicants applying for just a handful of spots.
With IVGC+, you’re not just getting an education—you’re joining a supportive international community without the barriers that make traditional paths so hard.
Our small team is dedicated to helping you achieve your dreams and ensuring that game creation education remains accessible to everyone.
