What Is an Entrepreneurship Degree?

Our society is constantly changing, thus it is challenging us to step out of our comfort zone, take actions and make a change in our community. Nowadays, students have the chance to do that through an entrepreneurship degree.

Entrepreneurship degrees are designed to develop students’ leadership skills, as well as technical skills, in order to prepare them to start their own business. Candidates learn what it takes to start a new business, starting with networking until selling their idea.

Unlike a business degree, which focuses more on technical information, entrepreneurship is the ‘creative’ part. This degree emphasises the concepts and ideas behind a business while understanding its environment and major bottlenecks.

Benefits of an Entrepreneurship degree

Graduating from an Entrepreneurship course has plenty of positive aspects. Undoubtedly, the most important one is the students’ mindset. Entrepreneurs are proactive and willing to take initiative, which is valued in this rapidly growing market. 

Graduates from entrepreneurship degrees are highly sought for their knowledge and transferable skills, which makes them one of the most significant players in the business field all around the world. 

Generally, graduates either start their own company or they seek opportunities in other businesses in fields like production, retail, marketing, human resources, finances and so on. 

 

Entrepreneurship Degree Structure

Entrepreneurship courses are a three-year commitment, in which you need to complete a certain amount of credits to be able to complete your studies. The number of credits required varies from university to university.

Moreover, there are some institutions in which entrepreneurship is required to be studied together with another minor course. The minor course, often called the ‘flexible’ course can be chosen from any other discipline area within the university.

    Good Project-Based learning, Nice Small Campus, but Administration is a bit messy

    RUC has a very nice campus near Trekroner station (Remember NOT Roskilde Station), with a small lake that has rafting competition every year. I enjoy the project-based learning, which mean every semester, you will work in group to conduct a research on a topic that is entirely decide by you and your group, which suit best for students with strong curiosity and desire for autonomy .
    I was in the master study of Social Entrepreneurship and Management, which is a new program, maybe that’s the reason of the messy administration (Mixing up of re-exam date, Flowing classroom for lectures etc). You better take up the initiative to keep track with the secretary about the things that he/she has to prepare for you.

    Learn Critical Thinking & Work on Real Problems

    I just started my Master’s programme (in Social Entrepreneurship) at RUC a few weeks ago but as I also took part in a supplementary summer course I already have a basic idea about studying here. From professors and teachers to the library staff everyone is aware and very proud of the RUC way of teaching/studying which even has a name: ‘problem-oriented project work’. The basic idea is to work in groups on projects that are focused on real-life problems from the current world and can have a meaningful contribution to society. Teachers are here for us to show the theories, methods and tools that are our there but it is our job and responsibility to do something with that toolkit. None of the professors are going to tell you that ‘this is the way it is, you just have to accept’. Instead they encourage us to question former terminologies, concepts and models from a critical perspective in order to be able to move forward and create something useful later on. RUC is seen to be a very ‘liberal’ university even in Denmark so there might be minor issues regarding administration but that’s also part of the approach of you as a student being responsible for your own education. If you don’t like something or think that you have been treated in an unfair manner, you have to speak up and go after it yourself. But of course everyone is very helpful and will do everything to solve the problem 🙂 The university is in a beautiful green area, about 30 minutes from Copenhagen by train and has well-connected systems to support your studies.
