Campus Entrepreneurship School: Interdisciplinary qualification offer

The event has been held regularly since the winter semester 2012/13 and has ended.

Organization

  • Prof. Dr. Andreas Liening, Chair of Economics and Economic Education (Faculty of Economics)
  • Angela Märtin, Research Promotion and Knowledge Transfer Unit

Content

Inter-faculty and interdisciplinary offer of the Chair of Economics and Economic Education (Director: Prof. Dr. Andreas Liening). In addition to the semester-long offers, a compact summer school with a specific focus topic takes place once a year. Promoters in the faculties provide support.

Target groups:

Students from all faculties, especially computer science, engineering, cultural studies, economics and social sciences, graduates, academic staff, external students.

Methodology:

Action-oriented teaching and learning methods are used. The aim is to present start-up-related situations in their complex contexts in a realistic way. The methodology is based on an experimental three-stage blended learning model modelled on Babson College (USA). There are subject- and sector-specific events (e.g. "Founding in the Cultural and Creative Industries") and interdisciplinary events. Interdisciplinary project groups are formed as part of the interdisciplinary events.

Process:

The Campus Entrepreneurship School offers three variants of further education:

  •  Modular Entrepreneurship Education (over three semesters)
  •  Summer School (Compact course)
  • Individual Entrepreneurship Education

Content:

 

At the beginning there is a kick-off event, followed by two semesters in which basic entrepreneurial knowledge as well as sector-oriented specialised knowledge is taught. The groups are as heterogeneous as possible in each phase. Every year, 250 new students can be accepted.  Phase 2 is followed by a six-month practical phase (Phase 3). Here, a detailed business plan for a concrete project is developed on the basis of the fundamentals.
