Academy for Continuing Education (ACE)

Not every game title makes the transition to the Esports arena. This module explores the design and game play fundamentals behind the most popular Esports games. Game play mechanics, modes of play, and multiplayer dynamics, are also covered in this module. Learners are taught how to identify potential games that can be used for Esports, and the characteristics that lend those games to this competitive platform. 

Understanding Game Design is a module selected from the Specialist Diploma in Esports Business and Production.  It enables participants to acquire new skills or deepen relevant skills without the need to pursue a full specialist diploma. As this is a stackable course, participants may choose to complete the remaining modules within the validity period, of 2 years, to be awarded the full Specialist Diploma qualification.
