This degree is delivered at our Confetti London Campus in Whitechapel. Esports isn’t just about gaming, it’s a global industry growing at a rapid rate. According to Newzoo, the industry is set to generate nearly £1.4 billion in revenues and reach an audience of over 500 million by the end of 2022. Considered one of the fastest growing sports, it's leading the way in live events production, broadcasting and streaming, and content creation. The industry is made up of professional players, games publishers, event specialists, broadcast/streaming providers like Twitch and Youtube, and global sponsors and technology providers. At Confetti, you’ll learn all about the esports industry as a global business, studying the principles of esports games, allowing you to explore the world of competitive gaming. You’ll learn what makes a successful esports game. At the centre of your learning will be production and technology; you’ll develop your ability to understand and apply the technologies associated with putting on an esports event. Unlike other universities, we’re specialists in creative technologies and have over 25 years of expertise in games, media and music. That means we’re in a unique position to draw upon our existing teaching expertise and industry contacts across gaming, technical events, production technology and broadcasting, and creative entrepreneurship to enhance your learning experience. We also run our own commercial businesses, including Confetti X (a purpose-built esports and virtual production venue), which means you'll learn and work alongside experts from the industry in a professional setting.
