Supporting successful entrepreneurship
The Tilburg University Summer School Entrepreneurship Program is a four-week program offered by the Brabant Center of Entrepreneurship (BCE) during the summer break. It combines academic courses with skills training, company visits, entrepreneurial games, and a final challenge.

Course information
During the first three weeks, students attend academic courses in the morning, followed by skills training sessions in the afternoon. For the coursework, each week focuses on a specific entrepreneurial topic: Introduction to Entrepreneurship (Week 1), Corporate Entrepreneurship (Week 2) and Law & Business (Week 3).

Course aims
To introduce participants to and deepen their knowledge and skills on entrepreneurship in an international setting. This program aims to put theory into daily practice by offering courses and skills training, necessary to assess and shape an opportunity and to present your findings to a panel of experts.

The skills training workshops are more general. Their aim is to enhance the academic knowledge and build a bridge towards the more practical aspects of entrepreneurship.

The program concludes with a final challenge in Week 4. Students break up into teams to tackle real-life case studies from local entrepreneurs and compete for the title of TUSS Entrepreneurship Team of the year.

All participants who successfully complete the TUSS International Entrepreneurship Program will receive a certificate for 6 ECTS credits.
