FAQs
Yes, absolutely! The program adapts to your goals, as you can choose between two specialized tracks:
- Entrepreneurship Track: For anyone who wants to develop their own business idea and launch a startup.
- Intrapreneurship Track: For anyone who wants to drive innovation, new processes, and change directly within existing companies or organizations.
You can find detailed information about both tracks directly on the website at Coburg University.
Excellent and reliable: The program is specifically designed for working professionals. You can expect a well-balanced mix of in-person sessions on campus, online sessions, and independent project work.
To help you optimally balance your career, personal life, and studies, all in-person and online dates are always set well in advance. This gives you complete planning certainty right from the start—even if you’re working full-time.
The program itself is tuition-free! Since these are state-funded degree programs (at Coburg University of Applied Sciences and Hof University of Applied Sciences), there are no tuition fees.
You only need to pay a standard semester fee each semester. This fee consists of the contribution to the Oberfranken Student Services Organization and the semester pass for public transportation.
Note: You can find up-to-date information on the exact amount of the semester fee on the websites of Coburg University of Applied Sciences and Hof University of Applied Sciences.
In-person classes are held at the Lucas Cranach Campus (LCC) on Güterstraße in Kronach.
The program is organized as a flexible project- and block-based course of study (primarily on Fridays and Saturdays), so that the in-person sessions in Kronach can be easily combined with a full-time job or personal projects.
