Entrepreneurship

In a rapidly and constant changing world it is useful and relevant to be flexible and to see the opportunities in these changes. Do you have the skills to start a business built on these opportunities? The world needs (sustainable) solutions for social and environmental challenges. Young entrepreneurs have been able to demonstrate a different mindset and innovative solutions for these challenges. Students have great ideas for starting their own companies. Therefore, we offer you a learning environment to experiment in and develop your entrepreneurial ideas.

Do you want to start your own company and do you want knowledge and guidance to realise this? Or have you already started and can you use some guidance in further developing your company? Your ideas come to live and we encourage you to actually develop your product and service. During the semester, you'll reach out to potential customers and draft a financial plan. You will face challenges and develop yourself as an entrepreneur and at the end you will have an up and running startup.

The exchange programme is based on learning by doing, and, thereroe, consists of exercises, challenges and assignments. This means no separate courses, exams or other summative tests, but a programmatic assessment for the whole 30 ECTS. Knowledge and skills training are offered according to the ‘just in time’ principle. This requires a high level of independence and personal responsibility from you with regard to self-starting skills and self-discipline. You are expected to manage your own learning process, continuously and actively collecting feedback, feed forward and feed up. Attendance at the coaching sessions is mandatory, so you can keep up with the high pace of this programme.

Please note that the exchange programme reflects a (logical) bundle of courses/subjects and should normally be followed as such. It is not possible to combine (two or more) programmes in one single period.
