Support for founders

“Semester in self-employment" as an option during studies, instead of a practice semester/semester abroad. Close supervision by two professors. At the faculty’s business event, students also have the opportunity to talk to the start-up team and the Career Service of Dortmund University of Applied Sciences and Arts. Some courses (e.g. management projects) are aimed at business start-ups, i.e. to show students the way by developing ideas and business plans. In this way, students are given the tools for a successful business start-up.

Digitalisation: Comprehensive integration of digital elements into the study programmes of the Faculty of Economics. The increasing digitalisation of the commercial business sector is taken into account in the curriculum: In several modules, students not only learn the essential basics of business IT, but also learn how to use databases and specific business software. Project orientation: Diverse projects in all degree courses of the faculty.
