Why choose this minor?

This minor is the right choice for you if you want to acquire knowledge, skills and attitudes that are necessary to successfully recognise and realise opportunities in the context of your major. You learn what entrepreneurship is and what entrepreneurial skills are. You also work together with students from different academic backgrounds. And you get to develop your own business idea which you will pitch to an expert jury.

What does the programme look like?

The minor Entrepreneurship is taught by experts from the Faculty of Economics and Business. The programme consists of a package of five courses of 30 ECTS in total.

During the minor, you will develop an empirically well-founded solution to a practical business development challenge, together with the students of the (faculty) minor Innovation & Entrepreneurship . Hence: 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.
