Certificate Entrepreneurship & Business
Core areas
For demanding activities in companies, non-profit organizations, in administration or when founding a company, basic business knowledge is very useful in all sectors. Equally important, however, is an overview of project management, staff management and legal issues. In almost all professional contexts, those who can develop their own ideas, design innovations and implement them successfully will also benefit. In short: Entrepreneurial thinking and action is in high demand!
With the Certificate Entrepreneurship & Business, TRACS and the Startup Center of the University of Tübingen will offer you the opportunity to acquire these skills - accompanying your Bachelor's degree - in the area of interdisciplinary skills and to effectively demonstrate them with a certificate starting in the summer semester of 2022.
All courses eligible for credit are offered in the Transdisciplinary Course Program (TCP). In the course descriptions in ALMA, in our printed course program and on the Homepage of the Startup Center, you will find information on which courses are offered each semester.
