Shay told MailOnline: 'For me, it was a bit of a no brainer as this is a great stepping stone in my career because I want to be involved in gaming and e-sports. I think a lot of what we learn can be used in any industry or job, whether that's graphic design, social media management or more.
Newcastle College offers two e-sports study programmes for its pupils, offering an industry-recognised qualification for budding gamers, event managers, journalists and more. With e-sports booming in popularity and interest in gaming continuing to grow across the country, industry insiders believe huge changes are on the horizon.
Shahneila Saeed, Head of Education at Ukie and Programme Director of Digital Schoolhouse, envisages a bright future for professional video game players and closer links between e-sports and education. Esports can help bridge that gap. And could we soon see video games used as a learning tool in classrooms across the country?

Playing violent video games such as Grand Theft Auto and Call of Duty won't make children more aggressive, a study found. Researchers from Massey University, the University of Tasmania and Stetson University reviewed multiple long-term studies into video games and aggression.
They found no evidence of a substantial link between 'aggressive game content' and signs of anger or rage later on in childhood. Further study by Dr Agne Suziedelyte, senior lecturer in the Department of Economics at City, University of London, examined the effects of video games on two types of violence — aggression against other people, and destruction of property and things. Mass media and general public often link violent video games to real-life violence, although there is limited evidence to support the link, according to Dr Suziedelyte.
The study focused on boys in the US aged between eight and 18 years — the group most likely to play violent video games. She found no evidence that violence against other people increases after a new violent video game is released. Parents reported, however, that children were more likely to destroy things after playing violent video games. Regulation of violent games also did not appear likely to reduce aggression in real life, suggesting parents shouldn't worry about their kids shooting up virtual enemies.
Real-life displays of violence, such as mass shootings in the US, have famously been blamed on video games by some politicians, rather than lax gun regulation and easy access to firearms. Following a shooting in the US in , US President Donald Trump said America needs to 'stop the glorification of violence' by 'gruesome and grisly video games'.
