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.
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 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.
I love that it’s flexible, which allows you to study from anywhere, anytime and that you can connect with like-minded people from all over the world. I also think ToU is preparing the students for what’s important in today’s world and pushing us to learn about important topics etc. Always fascinating!

View moreToU is not a distance learning university where you have to fend for yourself.
There are regular calls and collaboration with other students is encouraged.There are also regular on-site meet-ups where you get to know each other personally.
You immediately have people around you who have a similar mindset as you. That motivates you and you make good progress with your studies, even if you are working on the side.
A very young university with a new approach to higher education. For me the main elements of this new approach are:
– No time-consuming lectures but bite-sized lessons and interactive course discussions.
– Completely online but with an amazing international community that is supportive and engaging.
– Self-paced but with some guidance and deadlines so that you can´t get lost in the content.
– A little bit out of your comfort zone but protected and supported so that you can achieve great results.
– Everything that you learn can be directly applied to real live challenges.
The amount of time you need for the Professional Master really depends on your previous experience, your goals and your individual learning style. It is easy to get overwhelmed with the possibilities and fast pace but a big part of the course is to work with your personal mission statement to stay motivated and dedicated. The tou-team is constantly working on improving the learning experience and your entrepreneurial journey.
I can recommend ToU to anyone looking for a programme specialising in sustainability and practical knowledge, instead of only theoretical learnings. At ToU I do not just feel like “number” in a system, like it is the case at other university. There is also a big focus on building connections and network building.

What I really liked is that the university offers so much more than only the learning content. Would recommend it to anyone.
