Perlego is thrilled to announce our partnership with the University Campus of Esports (UCES) - the world’s leading university level institution dedicated to the business of esports and games. As a specialist higher education provider, UCES is redefining the sector through an inclusive, industry aligned, and career focused model that prepares students for leadership across the global esports and games ecosystem.
UCES combines academic rigour with deep industry integration, offering traditional academic degrees delivered through the lens of students’ passion for esports, connecting established higher education pathways with one of the world’s fastest growing creative industries.
Professor Philip Wilson, Executive Chair & Founder, stated: “Our collaboration with Perlego ensures every University Campus of Esports student has the tools to deepen their expertise and stay ahead of industry trends. Career development starts with access – and this partnership removes barriers to high quality learning materials. It’s a meaningful step in preparing our students for the careers they’re working towards.”
Katharine Templeton, Head of UK Partnerships at Perlego, says: “We're excited to support UCES as they prepare for their September launch, providing staff with early access to prepare teaching materials and assessments. This partnership represents our shared commitment to removing barriers to learning, supporting diverse student populations, and preparing the next generation for careers in the rapidly evolving Esports industry.”
Dr Elitza Iordanova, UCES Dean, emphasises the institution’s commitment to building an inclusive, future focused learning environment. She is dedicated to ensuring that every student feels they belong and can thrive academically, personally, and professionally. This commitment to inclusivity is not an aspiration - it is embedded in every aspect of the UCES student experience, from curriculum design and academic support to wellbeing, accessibility, and community building.
