European Joint Master Degree on Education and Employability for Esports Industry
Description
The Esports EMJMD proposal aims to design the first EMJMD on competencies and skills necessary for the Esport industry. The Esport industry continues to bloom and grow (culturally and economically), creating a dynamic environment that attracts new generations and creates abundant jobs of different kinds. Precisely, Esports is a growing industry that addresses current trends in the lifestyle of young people. However, there is a lack of professionals trained in the development, promotion and implementation of Esports activities, as well as in the interaction with Esports players. Importantly, at a European level there is no bachelor degree preparing professional for the Esports industry. This is partly due to complex nature of Esports; nevertheless this is a growing industry that has been dominated from professionals not educated about Esports, its particularities and special conditions. To address this gap, this application seeks to develop, a broad, holistic and multidisciplinary master degree curricullum, that will qualify students with the necessary skills to successfully enter the job market of the eSport industry. To achieve this, the proposal aims to develop and propose a master degree program with the participation of an international consortium of academic institutions with expertise on the diverse fields involved in education about Esports, such as education, management, informatics, integrity etc. This master degree program will fill in an existing gap in the European educational framework, as there is no other program on Esports and it is expected to provide manpower to a flourishing and expanding industry.
