Is this course for you?
Are you passionate about esports and eager to turn that passion into a thriving career? If you dream of working in one of the fastest-growing industries in the world, this Foundation Degree in Esports could be the perfect fit for you.
This course is designed for individuals who want to go beyond playing games and dive into the professional world that powers the esports ecosystem. Whether you’re drawn to the creative or technical aspects of esports, this programme offers a well-rounded education to prepare you for a range of roles in the industry.
Our Foundation Degree course through the University of Staffordshire is a FdA qualification equivalent of both Level 4 and 5. The course is designed to progress and enhance the skills and techniques previously studied from a Level 3 esports/creative media course to prepare you for either further study at Level 6, or in readiness for your employment in the digital industry.
The course is delivered over 2 years with Year 1 being the Cert HE followed by the FdA in Year 2. When you have completed the FdA in Esports, you will have the option of moving into employment or completing a top-up year, to gain a full bachelor’s degree, such as through the University of Staffordshire.
On successful completion of the FdA Esports award, students will be awarded a University of Staffordshire degree.
This course is due to start in September 2025, subject to validation.
