Overordnede kursusmål
This course addresses an important challenge for entrepreneurial
students: Handling the challenges that come with being an
entrepreneur and a student simultaneously. The purpose of this
course is to understand and explore different approaches on how to
organize the students' educational, entrepreneurial and person
life. This will be achieved by studying e.g. students’ competency
development, understanding team dynamics, planning project work,
and handling conflicts in multi-disciplinary within a team.
Furthermore, there is emphasis on internal and external (verbal,
visual and written) communication. The students will reflect how
the different tools and techniques are relevant, and can be used to
improve their personal, entrepreneurial and education life (based
on literature or personal experience). The learning of this course
will help students to organize the rest of their MSc education in
Technology Entrepreneurship.

Kursusindhold
Each lecture consists of a (guest) lecture on a specific topic
related to entrepreneurial life skills. The lecturer will introduce
a range of approaches (e.g. concrete, abstract, theoretical,
practical) on how to address this specific topic. In interactive
exercises, students will explore how these different approaches can
be applied to projects that they are working on at that moment in
other courses. Students try out the approach, and reflect how and
why this approach is working for them(or why it does not work).
After the lecture, students try out a selection of approaches in
more depth in their project work in other courses. Students reflect
on their experiences and link these experiences to theory. Each
lectures builds on the previous lecture. At the end of the course,
students have tried, and reflected on, a range of approaches in
entrepreneurial life skills that will guide the students throughout
the rest of their MSc Education.
