I was put in an environment conducive to concrete learning that nourishes our creative spiritf. We discover the world of work and enterprise before integrating what is positive into when we have followed an academic course where this is not really possible. I learned to structure a project around my thoughts and ideas. It's a challenge to collaborate effectively But I knew how to raise it.

It thus encourages individuals to realize their entrepreneurial ambitions and contribute to economic and social development as a whole.
The idea Action!
All Bachelor's and some Master's students must choose a Free Education Unit (Free EU) within their curriculum. This teaching was thought of as a way to open up to another discipline, to customize your training course or as a preparation for other choices of future studies.

• Through initial fictitious projects, students progress over the weeks by creating real business projects, going through all the crucial steps for launching a new solution.
• The EU is reserved for L2, L3 and Master and has a maximum capacity of 60 students.
But entrepreneurship at UHA is not limited Only in the first semester!
