This CEE Esports Report takes a look at what high schools and universities in the Central & Eastern Europe region offer for those chasing an esports education.<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n
As esports is becoming more attractive as a career to pursue, educational institutions are opening towards the next generation of students with various competitive gaming-related projects. <\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n
Several universities are already offering esports degrees in the UK<\/a>, while others are focusing on organising competitions for students. In the CEE region, universities are behind when it comes to courses, but there are signs indicating progress.<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n

In Poland, teachers are taught about esports<\/span><\/h3>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n
\n \nDespite dedicated esports degrees still missing from the menu of universities in the region, some high schools are already focused on esports education. As a formal supplement to the curriculum, close to 50 Polish secondary schools offer a comprehensive esports educational programme for those who imagine their future in the field of IT.<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n
\n \nPrepared by the Polish Esports Association<\/a> (ESA), more than 250 teachers can pass on knowledge from eight textbooks in various fields from game development to esports, with complementary projects like remote training in esports games.<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n \nBudapest\u2019s alternative school for sportspeople<\/span><\/h3>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n
\n \nAlternative School for Sportsman<\/a> (SAS) is a high school for those who need a unique time schedule due to their professional sports activities. The school also has esports programmes to offer, where youngsters can learn about coaching, marketing, esports law or investment. <\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n
\n \nThe school\u2019s vision is to provide opportunities to its students to start their career in the gaming and competitive industries.<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n\n\n
\n \nUniversity esport competitions are mainstream<\/span><\/h3>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n
\n \nWhile degrees are mostly absent, extra-curricular esports is prevalent in the CEE region. The K&H University Esports Cup<\/a> in Hungary last year presented a 3,000,000 HUF (~\u00a36900) total prize pool Cup for students of the eight participating Hungarian universities.<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n
\n \nRunning since 2018, ERBUD University Esports \u2013 EDU<\/a>, part of Amazon University Esports, involves 40 Polish universities across the country competing in League of Legends and CS:GO.<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n
\n \nIn Croatia, the Student Esports Tournament<\/a> features 16 teams from institutions that teach electrical engineering, computing and other IT courses, and acts as a qualifier for international collegiate competitions such as Amazon University Esports and UniRocketeers. Meanwhile, UniCup<\/a>, UNI MSR<\/a> and Esport Liga Vysok\u00fdch \u0161kol<\/a> provide numerous opportunities and some prize money for students of Slovak and Czech universities to show their skills.<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
