Danish eSport courses to be taught in the schools

In Denmark, several upper-secondary establishments are beginning to offer students eSports courses (both HF and HHX) aimed at helping the youngsters to develop their gaming talent. Currently, two gymnasiums in Denmark offer eSports, but from this summer, five new courses will be introduced.

The initiative is not new, as back in 2015 Campus Vejle was among the first to introduce eSports classes, with only 15 interested gamers at that time. However, things have changed, as there are now 85 students admitted to the eSport-line, and 60 waiting in line to start after the summer.

The announcement comes after the one from the beginning of 2017, whereas the Danish football club F.C. Copenhagen announced the creation of their esports division, North, and sign the ex-Dignitas players.
