Centre for Entrepreneurship, Innovation and SMEs (CENTIM)
Entrepreneurship Curriculum
„New name: In early summer 2023, a new name for the entrepreneurship curriculum was sought as part of a university-wide call for applications. The previous name Gründungscurriculum will be replaced by the new name Gründungswerkstatt with immediate effect.”

From entrepreneurial skills, leadership and idea development to finance, fundraising, business design and legal to online marketing, marketing The motto for all courses is: first learn, then do. Each course includes theory and methodological know-how and enables students to apply what they have learned directly afterwards in group work. Students benefit not only from the transfer and application of knowledge, but also from the wealth of practical experience of our lecturers.
The facts:
- All courses can be attended regardless of the degree programme or semester.
- The courses of the Entrepreneurship Curriculum can be credited as supplementary subjects in the Department of Management from the summer semester 2022 onwards. Students of other degree programmes receive a certificate of participation. A possible crediting with ECTS points must be clarified independently by the students with the respective examination board.
Due to personnel changes, unfortunately no courses can currently be offered as part of the start-up workshop.
