HND Esports

This HND helps people who love competitive gaming build careers in management, team leadership and digital content production. The qualification was built with Pearson and the British Esports Federation as an undergraduate-level award. Students plan and run live events and attend practical sessions on broadcast technology and gameplay review. Units include audio-visual production, streaming and broadcasting, wellbeing and health for athletes, and game design philosophy. Students also explore the health needs of professional players. Year two moves towards managerial and professional expertise, with a professional development unit and a research project set by Pearson. The campus-based approach mirrors the working esports industry, and graduates can aim for jobs such as tournament organiser, broadcast producer or team manager. Students gain professional habits for competitive settings.
