FAQs about the Entrepreneurship Degree – Everything You Need to Know!
Are you interested in studying Entrepreneurship but still have some unanswered questions? Here, you’ll find answers to the most important questions – from course content to entry requirements.
What is Entrepreneurship?
Entrepreneurship, in a broader sense, means ‘enterprise’ – encompassing the full spectrum of business management: How do I identify lucrative business ideas and opportunities? How do I set and achieve goals? How do I design and develop a company? How do I lead teams? How do I drive growth? While most of these aspects are standard management topics, the element of entrepreneurial spirit stands out: entrepreneurship means believing in your own ideas, accepting uncertainties, taking risks, inspiring investors, teams, and customers, and making bold decisions.
What can I Expect from an Entrepreneurship programme?
In our business administration-based Entrepreneurship programme, you learn how to found, manage, and transform companies. The focus on business administration is based on the fact that every company or start-up operates on similar fundamentals: you need a business idea, funding, and you must achieve market success, grow, and build teams. This foundation is taught in the business administration curriculum. In the Entrepreneurship programme, we delve even deeper into company management, while subjects such as marketing, supply chain management, or business psychology are also covered but play a secondary role.
Is an Entrepreneurship programme right for me?
The Entrepreneurship programme at CBS is ideal for you if you already possess or wish to develop an entrepreneurial spirit. If you are not content with the first available solution, enjoy developing innovative ideas, and aspire to play a shaping role in companies or as a founder, this programme offers the perfect preparation. It provides you with solid business administration and management knowledge, combined with hands-on projects and the development of essential soft skills. This ensures you are well-equipped to take on responsibility, successfully implement business ideas, and thrive in a dynamic market environment.
What does the Entrepreneurship programme cover? What will I learn?
An Entrepreneurship programme at CBS provides you with a broad foundation in business administration along with specialised knowledge in company management. As successful founders and executives need to be competent in many areas, the programme covers topics such as strategy, finance, marketing, human resource management, and innovation management.
In the undergraduate programme, you acquire fundamental economic and business knowledge in subjects such as business administration, commercial law, financial accounting, company management, and statistics. Additionally, you can specialise through elective modules – for instance in digital business, leadership, or strategic management. Cross-disciplinary skills such as communication, negotiation techniques, and team leadership complement the curriculum.
The postgraduate programme deepens your knowledge in areas such as business economics, innovation management, digital transformation, and strategic company management. You can also put your personal stamp on the course through specialised modules such as business model development, start-up financing, and social media marketing. Practical projects and the development of your own business plan specifically prepare you for a career as an entrepreneur or executive.
Whether you intend to start your own company or work in an innovation-driven business, the Entrepreneurship programme at CBS offers the perfect foundation to bring your ideas to life.
What are the entry requirements for an Entrepreneurship programme?
For an undergraduate programme at CBS, you require a university entrance qualification (for example, A-levels). If your course is taught in English, you must also prove your language proficiency with a current certificate or by taking the free CBS English test.
For a postgraduate programme, you need an initial academic degree (e.g. a Bachelor’s) in a business-related subject with at least 180 ECTS credits. If your final grade is below ‘good’, an admissions test may be required.
Incidentally, all programmes at CBS are open admission. Your application is assessed individually, and in a personal interview, we determine whether the programme is the right fit for you.
How is the Entrepreneurship Programme Structured?
The Entrepreneurship undergraduate programmes typically carry 180 ECTS credits and are full-time – either on campus or as dual programmes – lasting six semesters. Depending on the course, an exchange semester may be integrated. In some programmes, you have the option to add a seventh semester, bringing you to 210 ECTS – an exciting opportunity to later easily enrol in a 90-ECTS master’s programme.
The Entrepreneurship postgraduate programmes, when taken as dual or full-time, last four semesters and carry 120 ECTS credits. Part-time master’s programmes take slightly longer, usually five semesters.
As we place great emphasis on practical experience, internships are integrated into all programmes – except in dual or part-time courses.
In all courses, the final semester is typically reserved for your undergraduate or postgraduate thesis.
Entrepreneurship Careers: What can I do with an Entrepreneurship degree?
A qualification in Entrepreneurship opens up a wide range of career opportunities. You can start your own start-up, join a growing company, or support businesses as a consultant in their development. Even in established companies, there is a demand for innovation and change, with roles such as Entrepreneur in Residence, Intrapreneur, or Innovation Manager offering exciting prospects.
Additional career options include positions as Product Owner, Project Manager, or Business Development Manager, where you explore new business areas and drive strategic developments. If you are interested in finance, you can work as a Financial Intrapreneur to shape innovative financial strategies.
The breadth of opportunities makes Entrepreneurship a forward-looking programme with high flexibility on the job market.

What can I expect to earn after completing an Entrepreneurship degree?
As an entrepreneur, you can earn from €30,000 gross per year – if you receive a start-up grant. With strong financial backers, a young start-up may even pay a salary of €60,000 to €70,000 for the founding team; however, this is highly dependent on negotiations and performance.
Salaried positions in start-ups vary considerably, ranging from minimum wage up to €40,000 or €50,000 per year. Additionally, bonuses and company shares may be offered, although sometimes bonus and equity schemes significantly reduce the base salary. A career start at top companies or leading consultancies is usually better compensated.
