How?

Turn knowledge immediately into action! Learning by doing! At Team Academy, you’ll experience a completely different entrepreneurial study where you discover what truly interests you. You develop personal, professional, social, and leadership skills through practical workshops.

Grades don’t (only) reflect theoretical knowledge but showcase your practical skills through assignments and presentations.

In a close-knit team (12-18 people), you foster each other’s growth and learn together. We embrace ‘failing forward’: the freedom to experiment, make mistakes, and learn from them. Cultivate your entrepreneurial mindset in a supportive community.

What?

Team Academy offers two programs: Our 4-year international BBA in Entrepreneurship and our 12-week gap year program, TA Quest.

BBA: During the BBA, you’ll follow different courses like Innovation Leadership and Value Proposition Design, but also Law or Marketing, all while starting your own company during your study, and applying theory into practice. Annually, you’ll travel to discover cultures and enhance personal development.

And the dividends? More than just a diploma, but four years of priceless experiences that sculpt both your professional trajectory and personal growth.

TA Quest: The 12-week gap year program focuses on self-discovery. Under the guidance of a coach and your team, you explore your passions, set goals, and determine your course for the future!
