Entrepreneurship e-learning for all UU Master’s students

The Master's programme in Social, Health and Organisational Psychology, together with the UU Centre for Entrepreneurship, has developed an e-learning to help Dutch and international Master's students prepare for a career as entrepreneur. The e-learning is available to all UU students via the LLL platform. The e-learning Entrepreneurship: from spark to lift-off begins by overturning a prevailing stereotype, namely that entrepreneurship would only be about making a big money. 'Starting a company' is a very narrow perspective on entrepreneurship. Nowadays, it is acknowledged that we need to accept a much broader definition: begin entrepreneurial means taking action and learning via trial-and-error to create something new that has value for others ( Lackéus, 2015 ). The online modules are an accessible means for students to see if entrepreneurship is something they would like to pursue, says Rianne Poot of the UU Centre for Entrepreneurship (UtrechtCE). For students who are already sure they want to set up a company, the e-learning will guide them through the process from idea to startup.
