Minor in Entrepreneurship and Social Innovation
Study plan
To obtain the mEIS it will be necessary to take 30 ECTS of the total offer of 72 ECTS (each subject is 6 ECTS). Of these 30 credits, it is recommended to take the basic subjects of the Minor: Entrepreneurship, Market Research I, Creative Advertising and Management of Social Intervention Projects II, and take the reamining 6 credits from one of the other subjects offered. In the case of students coming from the Faculty of Economics and Business, the Faculty of Political Science and Sociology, the Faculty of Communication Studies, the Faculty of Law or the School of Engineering, who have already completed some of these subjects, they will choose another optional from other subjects offered (in any case, these specific cases will be analysed by the coordination of the mEIS).

In order to give more consistency to the mEIS, it is proposed to link the Degree Project (TFG) with the Mínor, so that the TFG should be an entrepreneurial project (business plan or similar).
In any case, it must be taken into account that the credits of the TFG are not part of the total credits necessary to obtain the Minor, although the mEIS can give support, if necessary and required, tot the development of the TFG.
