Description


  • The subject promotes an entrepreneurial attitude to make students more employable 

  • The entrepreneurial attitude is summed up in bringing ideas to action (execution)

  • It results in undertaking new projects

  • Once the 6 activities have been completed, the students go through two phases: 

            1.- Certify entrepreneurial competence: 

  • Presentation of your infographic in front of the court (examination calendar third term) 

  • You will get a certificate in addition to your university degree.

           2.- Evaluation optional subject Entrepreneurial itinerary 

  • The activities can be organized by Tecnocampus or other recognized entities in the field of entrepreneurship, innovation, the social economy and/or the circular economy. 
  • The classroom (physical or virtual) is a safe space, free of sexist, racist, homophobic, transphobic and discriminatory attitudes, either towards students or towards teachers.
