Under the expert guidance of Professor Dr. Heinz Kußmaul, the Institute for Business Start-ups/SMEs offers the “Entrepreneurship and Business Succession Study Program.” This program is specifically designed for non-business students but is open to all. It serves as a career-preparatory elective course at the University of Saarland, spanning two semesters with evening classes held over a total of 24 sessions. The program provides essential business fundamentals as foundational knowledge for potential entrepreneurs. Participants gain insights into key areas such as management, accounting, finance, business start-up practices, and business succession.
This program, starting in the winter semester, can be recognized for academic credit and is also accessible to external participants.
After Professor Kußmaul’s retirement, Professor Dr. Sven Heidenreich (Chair of Business Administration, particularly Technology and Innovation Management) will assume the academic leadership of the “Entrepreneurship and Business Succession Study Program.”
The certificate program covers essential topics such as business plan development, entrepreneurial thinking and action, and patent and innovation management. The program consists of four modules, which are offered over the course of two semesters. Each module provides a solid foundation in the fundamental principles of business start-ups. To complete the program, participants will undertake a seminar project tailored to their respective fields of study. This project allows you to apply your newly acquired knowledge and skills to a practical scenario.
