During the other courses at the university we teach intrapreneurship by teaching softskills like creativity, working in team and dealing with failure. Besides these softskills we stimulate them to work on real-life projects, for example by finding their own idea to work on during the course, by working on projects of fellow student-entrepreneurs or by working on real-life business cases.
