How do students evaluate the Start-up Business course?

"The Startup Business course offered me a comprehensive view of the preparation phase of my project, deepened my knowledge of organizational management and soft skills as such. I had the opportunity to test my own idea in front of other entrepreneurs who also taught us theory in practice. This course which would normally be quite expensive, is provided to us students free of charge. It is a pity that there are no more courses in our region presented in such a useful and entertaining way."

ING. JIŘÍ BRANŽOVSKÝ, student of the course within the framework of doctoral studies in pilot run, AY 2017/2018

"After many years of rigid management of most courses, this course is somehow trying to come out of the line, and we have to say that it is doing it very well. Respect for individuality is intrinsic to the course. Start-up business offers unprecedented scope for creativity which can actually lead in all directions. There is no drilling of terms, no memorizing of poems by heart, but honest work is required. The course "Start-up business" is definitely not for those students who want to pick their nasal cavities. But those who want to find out how ideas are transformed into reality, let them boldly sign up."
