Seminar (2 h per week)

Topical issues in entrepreneurship, innovation and regional development

Seminar participants are able to analyze a specific topic in economics. Upon completion of the module, they are able to write an academic text based on the relevant scientific literature, as well as critically discuss the contributions of other students.

The learning goal of critical discussion skills requires seminar participants to be present and actively participate in the discussion. Admission to the examination therefore requires regular attendance (in the event of absence due to illness or overlapping with other compulsory dates, the person responsible for the module must be notified immediately and proof or credible evidence must be provided accordingly). In case of absence without corresponding proof and in case of - with regard to the achievement of the learning objectives - too frequent absence, the admission to the examination can be denied. Further details are regulated by the examination regulations or the examination board.
