Course summary

The BA (Hons) Esports focuses on the business of esports. You'll learn everything required to host small- and large-scale events including developing skills for single player and multi-player team events. You'll have the opportunity to create business plans to build teams and create online communities and promote events through digital marketing. You'll also explore the culture of esports, its audience and fan base as well as a variety of the most popular current game genres.  As the sector grows, the ethical and legislative regulations are trying to keep pace and you’ll learn how these issues are affecting the esports environment.
