At Neu-Ulm University of Applied Sciences, there is the possibility to use a semester for your own start-up idea. This can be implemented within a vacation semester or as part of the practical semester through the Founders Kitchen.

 

Op­por­tun­it­ies for your start-up idea

Practical semester for your start-up

Developing innovative and customer-orientated solutions for business models independently and as part of a team: That is the aim of the Founders Kitchen.

The Founders Kitchen is a start-up practice semester that is credited as a practical semester at HNU.

From the summer semester 2023, the Founders Kitchen will enter its second round and all Bachelor students and international exchange students at HNU can apply.
Students who would like to further develop their start-up project during their semester off can also apply for the Founders Kitchen and thus successfully complete Level 3 of the Entrepreneurship Certificate. 

All students who use the start-up practice semester as a practical semester as part of their studies or a semester off can also have this credited as Level 3 of the Entrepreneurship certificate.
