BSc (Hons) Esports Production at Nottingham Trent University

Esports isn’t just about gaming. It’s a global industry worth $1.1billion, and it’s growing at a rapid rate.

It’s now the fourth largest form of sport in the world and is 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.

On this course you’ll learn all about the Esports industry as a global business, and you’ll study the principles of Esports games, allowing you to explore the world of competitive gaming. You’ll learn what, fundamentally, 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.

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 can offer you an opportunity to develop the vital skills required for a successful career in the Esports industry.

Our motto is ‘Do it for Real’. This means learning from teaching staff with industry experience, taking part in live projects, plus enjoying guest lectures and work experience. It also means working with industry-standard software and kit in facilities you’d expect to find in professional venues and studios.
