A college in the UK's 'gaming capital' launches an esports degree - and it's not just pushing buttons.

Adam, 22, played for Rangers in this week's inaugural eScottish Cup competition.Full-time esports athletes can earn seven-figure sums through playing high-profile tournaments and lucrative sponsorship deals.But people don't always talk about what it takes to get there, and the potential toll.

"Staying up very late, drinking energy drinks, not looking after yourself - I don't want other people to go through that.""I used to be terrible for staying up all night," admits Dylan Matthews, 19.Declan Hay, 18, points out that gaming can also help with mental health.And they're both relishing the prospect of turning their passions into a profession in Dundee.

"I always grew up playing games, I loved doing it, and now it's easier to make a career out of it," says Michael Bachelor, 23.But if you simply fancy playing all day, the new course - which launches later this year - might not be for you."It's looking at digital marketing, event management, wellbeing, coaching."
