Level 3 Esports 

Over recent years, the gaming industry has transcended culture and society in a way very few people originally thought. Once the hobby of a minority, Esports is now a fast-growing global industry offering a wide range of employment opportunities either directly or via Higher Education.  

The Esports course offers a unique opportunity to study a sector that crosses over multiple subject areas such as Content Creation including Video and Audio, Design, Marketing, Streaming and Event planning. The course has been developed with the Esports community ensuring that it is appropriate and consistent with current industry practices and to enable you to enter employment in the esports industry.

The course will combine a mixture of classroom-based study alongside the development of technical skills utilising the college’s specialist equipment as well as accessing facilities in the industry to supplement the knowledge and skills gained.

You will be part of a team that will compete in a college league as a player or/and in management and promotion. Online competition against other colleges will be in the evenings at college ‘out of normal hours.

You will produce publicly streamed commented matches, fully edited professional YouTube productions, game analysis fed back to coaches, a series of social media tweets and Instagram posts every week for each team, a business plan to launch the teams into the professional arena and videoed ‘Pitches’ for Esports ventures.
