**BSc (Hons) Esports Production**

Considered one of the fastest growing sports, esports 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.

At Confetti, you’ll learn all about the esports industry as a global business, studying the principles of esports games, allowing you to explore the world of competitive gaming. You’ll learn what 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.

Unlike other universities, we’re specialists in creative technologies and have almost 30 years of expertise in games, media and music. 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 also run our own commercial businesses, including Confetti X (a purpose-built esports and virtual production venue), which means you'll learn and work alongside experts from the industry in a professional setting.

This is a relatively new subject area for this kind of data, so we don’t currently have very much information to display or analyse yet. Gaming is a growing industry, and if it continues to grow we should see the rather high unemployment rate coming down over the next few years. Much the most common jobs for graduates who do get work after six months are in programming roles - but as things stand, be aware that jobs in the field are very competitive and personal contacts - either through family, friends or via specialist employment agencies - are a crucial way into the industry so be prepared to talk as well as code!
