NSE (National Student Esports), the official body of university esports in the UK, is proud to announce a new headline partnership with Vita Student, the UK’s leading premium student accommodation brand. As part of the partnership, Vita Student will become the headline partner of NSE and the British University Esports Championship, supporting the growth of competitive gaming within higher education.
Founded to elevate the student experience both in and out of university, Vita Student and NSE share a common mission: to create meaningful, community-driven experiences for students. By working together, the two organisations aim to showcase talent and diversity within the UK student esports scene while providing enhanced opportunities, content and activations for students to engage with year-round.
Running throughout upcoming competitive seasons, the partnership will see Vita Student integrated across NSE’s flagship competitions, broadcasts and live finals, including British University Esports Championships, the UK’s official university esports competition. The collaboration will support thousands of students competing from universities nationwide.
“The opportunities this partnership brings are significant,” said Tom Dore, Managing Director at NSE. “Based on our shared values and focus on young people, working with Vita Student as our headline partner for both NSE and the British University Esports Championship allows us to invest further into our competitions, improve the experience for our players, and continue building a sustainable pathway for student esports.”
Max Bielby, Chief Operating Officer at Vita Student, added: “We know how important it is for students to feel connected and inspired during their studies. Now more than ever, online communities allow students to be a part of something bigger.
“At Vita Student, we have a similar mission – to create spaces where students from across the world can thrive. NSE has shown incredible dedication to building an authentic, inclusive community for like-minded students, and we’re proud to support and strengthen grassroots esports through this partnership.”
