Learning Outcomes of UE

At the end of this course, students will be able to develop and successfully carry out an entrepreneurial project.

UE Content: description and pedagogical relevance

In order to develop their entrepreneurial project, students will participate in the monitoring activities of CLICK N'Start (UMONS support space). They will regularly present their progress during various seminars.
Different pedagogical approaches are used such as:
- Testimonials from an entrepreneur and/or a student-entrepreneur;
- Courses (theory and exercises): the different stages of creating a business (idea, market analysis, business plan) and tools related to entrepreneurship (BMC, etc.);
- Seminars and conferences (related to CLICK, for example);
- Company analysis.
