The global Esports market is estimated to be worth over $1 Billion in 2021 and will be growing 50% over the next three years. We are excited to be able to offer you the chance to be part of this growth. The Esports community is relatively young and there is a mass of untapped potential making this a very exciting, energetic and potentially very profitable area to get into.
Bringing together four departments from across the college, this course will challenge what you think you know about gaming and the world of business.
Have you ever wondered what it would take to be the next Twitch star or compete in national Esports competitions? Have you ever wanted to organise an event of your own? If so then this could be the course for you. It allows you to explore the world of gaming and get a feel for how the professionals do it.
On the course:
- You will learn the fundamentals of games, Esports and live streaming.
- You will explore fitness, nutrition and how to manage and coach a squad or your own routine.
- You will learn how to build your gaming empire using entrepreneurial skills in business acumen.
- You will also host competitions in-house and compete at a national level, playing games like FIFA, League of Legends, Rocket League and Overwatch.
If this is not enough, you will be given the opportunity to meet professionals who are currently competing, commentators and professional wrestlers and business owners who will be willing to offer guidance and their own experience in the business.
Our highly experienced team have worked in the industry and they will help you to level up in all areas of Esports from gaming to business planning.
We believe that hard work wins, challenges are a good thing, diverse teams make great products and that people do their best when given the opportunities to take creative risks and do what they are passionate about.
We have built this course around you and the needs for being successful
in this ever growing industry.
The Esports team will support you throughout the years to take your next steps, be that with us on one of our HNC/HND Business or Games Development courses or alternatively a degree at university in Esports.
You’ll get to meet industry professionals and network with other creatives building your profile and making valuable contacts that could lead to job opportunities.
