This course will build students’ entrepreneurial attitudes, such as achievement orientation and ambition, self-confidence, action orientation, hard working and creativity. Also students’ entrepreneurial skills, such as creative problem solving, negotiating, selling, persuading and managing a project are developed during the course.

In this course, the students act as independent consultants responsible for meeting the requirements of a client organisations and the school. During the course, 2 to 3 students team up and find an organisation with a problem to be solved, a task to be performed or a research project to be carried out. The students then prepare a plan for a consulting project matching the need of the client and sell the project to the client organization. Team negotiates the content, schedule and price of the project. After completing the project and presenting the results to the client, the students hand in a formal report to the school.

Welcome to the course!
