Students got a taste of the future of competitive gaming during a recent university visit.
A group from St Vincent’s College in Gosport toured the University of Chichester’s new Esports Performance Room as part of a college outreach visit, giving them a first-hand look at the university’s state-of-the-art facilities in action.
Lee Cumbers, lecturer in Esports and Esports Psychology at the University of Chichester, said: "The visit was a huge success thanks to our 3rd year Esports students, our staff and colleagues from St Vincent’s College.
"Looking forward to having them back in the future and to the upcoming visits from other local colleges."

The bespoke College Outreach Programme, created by Esports lecturer Lee Cumbers, provides opportunities for collegiate and university students to compete, coordinate and participate in student-led Esports events.
The Esports Performance Room, powered by SCAN UK, is used by students on the BA (Hons) Esports degree to develop their performance-based skills through teaching, in-house events and competitions.
Esports is a fast-growing global industry which generated an estimated 1.96 billion dollars last year, offering career opportunities in areas such as gaming, team management and sports science.
Students enrolled in the University of Chichester’s Esports degree regularly compete in the National Student Esports league.
