Overview

The Bachelor's Degree in Esports Business programme from Kajaani University of Applied Sciences is not a player training course and therefore is not focused on improving the students in-game ability but rather provides attendees with an all-encompassing curriculum focused on the various career opportunities available in the esports landscape, primarily focusing on business operations, digital marketing, and event management. You will receive the same core fundamental business knowledge as those within traditional business degrees, but through the lens of esports and utilizing topical industry case studies. Examples of additional courses include individual coaching, contract law, and esports service design.

Hands-on Experience

Esports cannot simply be taught in a classroom, and for this reason practical hands-on experience, entrepreneurship and networking are vital components of the curriculum. From the moment the studies begin students are presented with a wide range of exciting opportunities including joining our on-site esports organization KAMK.GG or planning campus activities (viewing parties, LAN sessions, etc) within the KAMK.GG Lounge.
