Honoursmodule: Social Entrepreneurship

Is it possible to apply academic skills to concrete societal or environmental problems as a student?

During this course, you will acquire entrepreneurial skills and engage in at least 80 hours of community service where you will gain experience in applying these entrepreneurial skills to a societal or environmental issue. The course thus contributes to the mission of the University of Amsterdam (UvA) to engage 'with social issues, in keeping with the spirit of the city with which it is inextricably linked' (UvA profile and mission).

This honours module is organised by the College of Economics and Business. More information about the course can be found here.

Schedule

The schedule will be available on Datanose.
