Study Entrepreneurship as Minor

The Entrepreneurship degree programme encourages you to develop sustainable start-up ideas with the values of social and ecological responsibility. The focus is on courage, creativity, self-confidence and resilience – skills that go far beyond the mere teaching of specialised content such as financial planning or marketing.
Another unique selling point is the experience-based learning concept, which gives you practical insights and active participation in entrepreneurial processes on the Entrepreneurship degree programme.

Our study concept for the Entrepreneurship minor programme
You begin your Bachelor's degree programme with the Leuphana Semester (30 credit points, CP). In this introductory semester, you will work on reflecting on and solving a central issue of social coexistence. The aim is to develop a fundamental understanding of interdisciplinary issues. The first semester at the College also gives you the opportunity to gain a fundamental understanding of science and data literacy. The Entrepreneurship minor (30 CP) deepens or complements your major (90 CP). In the Complementary Studies (30 CP), you have the freedom to pursue your thirst for knowledge individually by immersing yourself in a different field of knowledge each semester.
