Certificate Programmes in Digital Technology and Entrepreneurship

Since the summer semester of 2018, the University of Passau has been offering two interdisciplinary English-language certificate programmes. Students of all faculties can apply to the Entrepreneurial Pathfinder and the Honours Degree in Digital Technology and Entrepreneurship. With the Legal Pathfinder, there is a separate certificate program for law students, that are interested in legal issues associated with entrepreneurship and startups.

Entrepreneurial Pathfinder

You are a student — but fascinated by entrepreneurship and you would like to explore this field in more depth? The Entrepreneurial Pathfinder allows you to choose from a variety of courses in Entrepreneurship, Entrepreneurial Skills, and Trends to earn a certificate. Likewise, optionally upgrade your certificate to Pathfinder Plus with a Practical Module.

Honours Degree in Digital Technology and Entrepreneurship

Are you interested in digital technologies and entrepreneurship? Can you envision starting your own business? Do you already have a (business) idea? The Honours Degree in Digital Technology and Entrepreneurship offers the unique opportunity to realize your business idea. In six modules, we will guide you during the implementation of your business idea. What is special? You can develop digital, data-driven and/or web-based prototypes yourself. Moreover, practitioners supervise our courses so that you will be in communication with them from an early stage. Based on successful completion of the modules, you receive an Honours Degree "Digital Technology and Entrepreneurship" from the University of Passau.

Legal Pathfinder

You are a law student and interested in legal issues associated with entrepreneurship and startups? In the Legal Pathfinder, you will advise entrepreneurs and help them find their way through the jungle of legal pitfalls in our Law Clinic.
