E-Sport

E-sport – First Cycle Studies

E-sports studies are an educational proposal that has not yet existed at the undergraduate level in Poland. The studies were created as a result of cooperation with e-sports organisations, which demanded their creation and participated in substantive consultations regarding their program content. The organisations Devils.one and Kinguin have provided professional staff to conduct specialisation classes in e-sport and optional classes. The specialist teaching staff includes players, coaches, people actively involved in the e-sports industry in Poland, lawyers and organisers of e-sports events. During their classes, students learn how to turn their passion for games into an attractive profession that simultaneously provides pleasure and emotions.

Specialisation classes include:

social and legal problems of e-sports activities,
psychology of e-sport,
financial aspects of running an e-sports team,
risks and unfair practices related to interfering with competition and rivalry in e-sport,
Internet law and e-sports,
sports theory and the e-sports ecosystem,
marketing and communication in e-sports,
building business models in e-sports,
statistical analysis of e-sports events,
management of an e-sports organisation,
training and coaching methods in e-sports,
e-sports project management taking into account the digital environment,
digital content creation in e-sports.

Optional activities include e-sports trainings, playing in the university team as part of academic competitions, workshop classes to develop practical competences in e-sports (as a player, coach and manager).

Graduates will have the opportunity to gain knowledge about the structures of e-sports organisations and how to manage them. The acquired practical knowledge will allow students to take an active part in creating and managing e.g. e-sports teams, events in the sector, but also they will be competent to manage e-sports departments in companies outside the sector, which need employees with knowledge of the functioning of electronic sport.

The course educates not only future employees of entities directly related to e-sports, but also specialists working on behalf of clients who are indirect recipients of e-sports competition. The major is designed to transfer the knowledge acquired by specialists in the e-sports segment to the outside world, while incorporating the know-how of other industries.

Students learn about the various organisational structures commonly found in e-sports, sports and the broader entertainment industry. They will learn about the factors that contribute to successful businesses in e-sports, including branding, project management, positioning, infrastructure and funding sources. They will gain interdisciplinary practical knowledge from experts in the world of e-sports, sport, law, finance and media.

After completing the studies, the graduates will be able, among other things to:

Gain attractive employment in the e-sports labour market,
Co-create the future of Polish e-sport ( Not only will they be a close observer of changes in the sector, but they will have a real influence on their shape.)
Participate in the process of exchanging information, resources, mutual support and opportunities in the e-sports ecosystem, thanks to a beneficial network of mutual contacts established in the course of studies (networking).

E-sports studies also include an extensive management major module, which allows you to gain an education supported by comprehensive knowledge in the field of organisational management including e-organization. Graduates of the course create a qualified managerial staff needed in modern business. They possess comprehensive knowledge and skills necessary to manage projects, teams and companies. Thanks to a large number of practical classes, management graduates are able to take up managerial positions in any industry.

The studies last 6 terms and end with the award of a bachelor’s degree. In the course of training, students acquire practical skills to function in an organisation, regardless of its size and type of activity. They are prepared to use modern management methods, quantitative tools and information technologies at various levels of the management process. Management studies offer employment prospects in all sectors of the economy, and graduates gain the ability to recognise, diagnose and solve typical problems related to the management of human, material, financial and information resources, process management and teamwork skills.

Graduates receive two diplomas:

from management – it is a directional diploma allowing to take up a job in any department of economy,

from e-sports management – a specialisation diploma opening up opportunities of working in the e-sports industry as a manager, coach or competitor.

In the course of studies, graduates receive an e-sports instructor certificate.

The e-sports major is supported by many industry organisations. Thanks to this cooperation, we offer our students part of their classes and internships in professional gaming spaces. Among others, Esports Perforamnce Center provides us with the largest and most modern training centre in the CEE region. It is a place of e-sports training for teams from Poland and around the world.
