Overview
With the Esports and Sports Media (Hons) course from University of Chichester you will study esports team structures, branding and coaching alongside sports journalism, live event broadcasting and client directed production. We also consider the ethical challenges within esports and gaming, how the esports unique ecosystem operates, the impact of our consumption of sports, and the psychological and physiological research currently used in both industries.
Competitively, you will have opportunities to participate in live and online single and multiplayer games events across titles including Counter Strike, FIFA, League of Legends and Project Cars. Past students have represented us in the NSE British University Esports Championship and The Nuel as part of the University esports team, the Chi Challengers.
