Building Entrepreneurs!

Startup 'n' Study!
An accadis Degree Program for Young Entrepreneurial Talents

You are bursting with ideas and are eager to get your own company up and running. In that case, our innovative program Building Entrepreneurs! is the perfect choice for you. The question here is not: start a company or study first? You choose to combine both founding AND studying. As an integral part of your studies, you will develop and implement your business model.

The two elements of the Building Entrepreneurs! program assist students:

Concepts

In our innovative initiative Building Entrepreneurs!, which is funded by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF), students with a startup idea are supported by blending their academic studies with the development of their business idea.

Coaching

Participants in the Building Entrepreneurs! program work together with a designated mentor from the accadis Institute of Entrepreneurship, who advises and supports them throughout the entire period of their academic program and the startup phase. On the one hand, your coach is your contact and sparring partner, who supports you in the development of your business idea. He/she helps you with knowledge and networking. On the other hand, your coach is also your academic guide, who ensures that you do not lose sight of your academic goals.

„Thanks to the Building Entrepreneurs! program and the ensuing synergies, I am simultaneously completing credits towards my degree - in my case, the work-based project and the Bachelor's thesis - and actively driving my startup idea forward. “

Andreas Bechmann, International Business Management 2021

What Else You Need to Know

The prerequisites for the Building Entrepreneurs! program are the same as for all the Master degree programs.

The Building Entrepreneurs! program may be combined with all accadis degree programs. During the application phase, in addition to the general admission process, you will present your business idea in a pitch presentation.

If your business idea does not work out, then you will complete your degree program with the regular examination requirements. One way or the other, the entrepreneurial experience you gain in your startup will benefit you during your professional life.
