The programme allowed me to have a better understanding in eSports ecosystems and developed my skills in event management, eSports business start-up strategies etc. Moreover, the programme gave me opportunities to connect with professionals in the field and gained valuable experiences.

Honestly, I thought eSport was just gaming before studying this programme. This programme introduces a lot about the eSport industry.  It includes theory aspects about analysing the environment of the global eSport market. It also includes practical aspects e.g. how to organise an eSport event. 

In addition, the programme offered some placements that giving us experience in handling eSport projects in real world. It was a valuable opportunity for me learn from the professionals.

I hope the negative perception towards eSport could be changed in the future. eSport is more than just gaming!

When it comes to the term eSports, most people have the perception of “teenagers playing online games”. As a matter of fact, playing online games was just a small part of knowledge under the Higher Diploma in eSports at HKU SPACE CC. Apart from the skills learnt in practical sessions, I gained valuable experience when working with professionals to handle eSport projects. I also got to know that there was a wide range of career opportunities after graduation, including event organizer, programmer, sports coach, and media production, etc., which allowed me to have better planning for my further career.
Lecturers of this programme were patient to help and always encouraged us to try new things. Not only were they professional in teaching, they were also willing to answer any question regarding our academic or career development. They provided me with valuable advice which enabled me to pursue my dream in eSports. I would like to express my gratitude to all lecturers who have taught me. Thank you very much!
