Course summary

Building on the foundation of an esports certification, our top-up degree offers an exciting opportunity to advance your qualifications by earning a full BSc degree in just one year. Open to all eligible students, this programme is an ideal choice for anyone looking to deepen their expertise in esports business management.

Through this programme, you can specialise in one of three major business areas within the Esports sector: becoming a strategist, an organiser, or an entrepreneur. This tailored approach allows you to focus on your strengths and career aspirations.

Helping you to further establish your industry knowledge, your final trimester offers you the opportunity to take part in a work placement at an esports company. This hands-on experience will help you refine your professional identity and apply the skills you've learnt throughout the course directly within the industry.

You will be studying in a bespoke immersive environment, built to host the digital requirements of the course. This includes an esports tournament arena, broadcasting equipment and an esports lab for teaching, learning and gaming.
