The professional bachelor’s degree in Design and Business specialised in Entrepreneurship and Innovation is for students who want to start their own business or work professionally with innovation and development in private or public companies. If you see yourself as a future entrepreneur, innovator, or project manager, Entrepreneurship and Innovation is the way forward.
Learn to work professionally with creative processes
The teaching in this programme is highly practice-oriented. Here, you collaborate with various companies and organisations. This gives you the opportunity to test, develop, and possibly implement your ideas within a company or establish your own business.
- You will work with creative processes, trends, testing, prototyping, sustainability, development, and conceptualisation.
- You initiate and develop ideas and projects, transforming them into value-creating concepts or services in the market.
- You will gain experience in process and project management, facilitation, innovation, teamwork, and business establishment and development.
The courses at the programme provide you with the skills to work independently with innovation and business development in a company or as an independent entrepreneur. We work with sustainability and the latest methods in project management, innovation, social design, entrepreneurship, and business creation. Our focus is on the creative industries, particularly the fashion and lifestyle sectors, but we are open to all projects.
Focus on the interaction between design and business
You will get a creative, highly relevant, and practice-oriented education that focuses on the fashion and lifestyle industry, but can be applied in all contexts. This ensures you gain a special business understanding of the interaction between design and business.
The strength of your education lies in the combination of specialised subjects, electives, and common subjects. Design and Business are the focal points of the common subjects, where students from all specialisations work together on a project with leading companies.
In the process of developing creative, entrepreneurial, and feasible solutions, your business understanding increases, and you gain experience in cross-disciplinary collaboration. This way, the project process helps prepare you for a future job and to act as a project manager or entrepreneur.
Company internship
An internship is also important to give you insight into the industry's way of working. At Entrepreneurship and Innovation, you can choose to intern in your own company. This way, you get the opportunity and support to work on and develop your own (business) project – or further develop a company you have already started.
Study environment close to the industry
Your education takes place in a strong design and business environment and in close collaboration with primarily fashion and lifestyle companies. You have access to the latest technologies in unique workshop facilities and laboratories, giving you ample opportunity to experiment with prototypes. Additionally, you gain access to highly specialised knowledge and know-how, which helps develop your personal and professional skills.
