Entry requirements
Note: Admission requirements for non-programme students usually also include admission requirements for the programme and threshold requirements for progression within the programme, or corresponding.
Prerequisites
The requirements for participating in lectures and examination in semester 5. Students are expected to be able to collect and structure information independently, communicate orally and in writing, plan and execute a project-based assignment in group and perform basic calculations. They are also expected to have some ability of creative and critical thinking.Intended learning outcomes
The purpose of the course is for students to acquire knowledge and abilities within the field of entrepreneurship, with particular focus on formulation and evaluation/qualification of ideas for entrepreneurial ventures. The learning outcomes is that students after the course should
- be able to describe, compare and take a position on different perspectives on entrepreneurship
- be able to reflect on what entrepreneurship can be within their own technological field
- be able to give an account of critical factors for the establishment of an entrepreneurial venture
- be able to give an account of the information and analyses required to evaluate an idea for an entrepreneurial venture and have some ability to collect and analyse relevant information for that purpose
- have some ability to communicate a business idea proposal orally and in writing
Course content
The course is organised in three themes:
- What is entrepreneurship? Students are faced with different perspectives on entrepreneurship and are allowed to form their own opinion of what entrepreneurship may be.
- Entrepreneurship as the establishment of new ventures. What is an entrepreneurial venture? How is an idea, upon which a venture could be founded, formed and developed? What organisational forms can an entrepreneurial venture take? What is required for an entrepreneurial venture to stand on its own feet? How are entrepreneurial ventures financed?
- Idea feasibility analysis. The process from idea to business plan. The prestudy details (goal/vision, business idea, market and competitive strategy, marketing, business model, profitability and financing).
Teaching and working methods
The course is organised in terms of lectures and seminars, where theories of entrepreneurship are mixed with, and illustrated by, practical examples, the experiences of our guest lecturers and student practices. Group assignments and individual assignments support learning. Driving force is an important aspect of entrepreneurship, and students' engagement will therefore be emphasized in the course; the course is to a large extent problem-based and students are required to take responsibility for their own learning, individually and in groups.
The course runs over the entire spring semester.
