Think like an entrepreneur. Shape innovation. Change the future.
New technologies, digital transformation, changing markets, and societal challenges open up a wide range of opportunities for innovative and sustainable entrepreneurship.

The program covers the full spectrum of entrepreneurial innovation—from launching and scaling innovative startups to advancing the development of mid-sized businesses and pursuing strategic transformation and new business areas in large companies and corporate groups.
The program focuses on integrating entrepreneurial thinking, innovation management, and forward-looking business development, while exploring how digital technologies and sustainable solutions create new possibilities for the economy and society.

Departmental Examination Regulations/Degree Plans/Module Handbooks/Internship Regulations
Departmental Examination Regulations (known in German as Fachprüfungsordnungen, or FPOs) define the basic structures of a degree program (including admission requirements and curriculum). Students are automatically subject to the current version of an FPO when they enroll for their first semester. Even if a new FPO is issued during your studies, you will still be subject to the rules of the original version according to which you enrolled (presuming the FPO has not otherwise been revoked).
Each degree plan represents the recommended ideal course of study for a given subject and is a constituent part of any FPO.
Supplementary regulations and detailed information for each module (such as requirements for taking a written examination and the content of the modules/events) can be found in the module handbooks.
The internship regulations define the conditions under which the compulsory or optional internships must be completed.
Before the start of the lecture period, we recommend that you review the degree plan for your degree program so that you know which modules are planned for the start of your studies.
