The HKU also provides an extra-curricular master class in entrepreneurship that is speci cally targeted at designers, both students and young entrepreneurs. The participation is based on voluntary subscription, followed by a selection procedure and the master class targets fourth year bachelor or master students. Students are taught about personal entrepreneurship, experience of the type of entrepreneur they themselves are and acquiring the necessary skills to become an entrepreneur via the cooperation with outside stakeholders such as the Taskforce Innovation in the Utrecht Region, Utrecht Province and Dutch Game Garden. The master class may result in real-life start-ups depending on the level and the ambition of the students.
Entrepreneurship education should not be confused with general business
and economic studies, as its goal is to promote creativity, innovation and self- employment. Entrepreneurial programmes o er students the tools to think creatively, to be an e ective problem solver, and to communicate, to network and to lead. Entrepreneurship is not necessarily a topic - it is also a di erent way of teaching and of helping young people to fully develop their potential.
