Esports (electronic sports) is organised, competitive video gaming played by both amateurs and professionals. It takes place online and at live spectator events, often in indoor arenas with large audiences and big prize pools. You’ll train using high-spec PCs, consoles, and mobile devices, competing in popular formats like 1v1, 3v3, and 5v5 depending on the game.

You’ll explore top Esports titles including:
– MOBA games like League of Legends and Dota 2
– First-Person Shooters (FPS) such as Call of Duty, Overwatch, and CS:GO
– Fighting games like Smash Bros and Street Fighter
– Sports-based games including FIFA, Rocket League, and sim racing like F1

Esports is about more than just playing games. You’ll develop a wide range of transferable skills that employers value, such as communication, teamwork, strategic thinking, and digital literacy. These skills are essential for careers in media production, marketing, coaching, event planning, and more.
