Business administration: Students should have a foundation in "general business administration" (e.g., a previous course Introduction to Business Management), with knowledge of general management concepts and frameworks, as well as the main functional areas in business (e.g., accounting, finance).

Economics: Students should have a foundation in "general economics" (e.g., a previous course Introduction to Economics), with knowledge of general economic principles, including macro- and micro-economic concepts. They should be familiar with important economic indicators (e.g., gross domestic product, inflation) and the market mechanism of supply and demand.

Collaboration and communication: Students should be able to collaborate productively in diverse teams and communicate at an academic level, both orally and in writing. They should be able to convey complex ideas and analyses clearly and coherently, and to effectively work with fellow students in tasks such as case analysis and discussion.

The objective of this 6-ECTS Business Modelling course is to provide students with a deep understanding of a critical concept in business management: the business model. A business model outlines a company’s core logic and is therefore of significant strategic importance. The course is spread over two semesters. In the first semester, students become familiar with key business modelling frameworks and apply these concepts in a group exercise, which culminates in a graded end-of-semester presentation. In the second semester, students build on these conceptual and practical foundations by working in teams to develop a business model for their own student enterprise, concluding with a graded final presentation.
