Take your skills to the next level and break into the multi-billion pound esports industry. Esports is an exciting fusion of online gaming and spectator sport. But its success isn’t just down to the players - it’s also the specialist teams behind the scenes.

Our graduates have gone on to a variety of roles, including becoming community managers, broadcast and production crew, and event managers. Now you could be following in their footsteps.

We were the first university in the UK to offer an Esports degree and have continued to innovate. As a student here, you’ll benefit from our partnership with EPIC.LAN, renowned for its community gaming events. With guest lectures, tailored module support and access to EPIC.LAN’s professional tournament platform, you’ll gain the experience and industry insights to set you apart from the competition.

On our course, you’ll combine digital media and broadcasting skills with practical experience of business, event management and marketing.

You can stage your own esports tournaments in our 60-seat arena and commentate on events using our caster desk. In our production galleries, you’ll also learn how to do everything from action replays to close-ups.
