Certificate Programmes in Entrepreneurship

Since the summer semester of 2018, the University of Passau offers two interdisciplinary English-language certificate programmes. Students of all faculties can apply to the Entrepreneurial Pathfinder and the 'Honours Degree' in Entrepreneurship. With the Legal Pathfinder, we have a separate German-language certificate programme for law students, that are interested in legal issues associated with entrepreneurship and start-ups. The ‘Certificate Programmes in Entrepreneurship’ are part of PATEC – Passau the Entrepreneurial Campus.
