University Minor Entrepreneurship

In today's world, the role of entrepreneurship extends beyond traditional business creation. Entrepreneurship has become an essential skill for all academic disciplines. 

In this minor, you learn what entrepreneurship is, and you will develop your entrepreneurial skills with a well-founded solution to a practical business development challenge. In doing so, you work together with students from the faculty minor Innovation & Entrepreneurship. Together with these students, you will work in multidisciplinary project groups. The source of your group's business development challenge could be your own entrepreneurial idea, but also an opportunity delivered by an existing company. Finally, you get to develop your own business idea which you will pitch to an expert jury.

Whether you want to start your own business, or you want to work in an existing profit or non-profit organization, you need to be able to recognize opportunities. This minor is the right choice for you if you are ambitious and want to acquire scientific knowledge, skills and attitudes that are necessary to successfully recognize and realize these opportunities.
