Evening classes allow students to be enrolled into two degrees at the same time (possibility to hold D2E and another degree at the same time). Students follow courses dedicated to the creation of their company and are accompanied in the development of their project.
The “Student Entrepreneur Diploma” is delivered by the CELSA, the school of communication from Sorbonne University.
Objectives of the training
The goal of the “Student Entrepreneur Diploma” (D2E) is to accompany students in the creation, implementation and development of their entrepreneurial project. This degree is based on an experimental teaching which favors learning through action.
It allows students to obtain basic and fundamental knowledge and practices in entrepreneurship. They can also benefit from an individual help with experts and a mentor.
The objective of the Student Entrepreneur Diploma is to make the student asking himself questions regarding the development of his or her project and give him or her resources in order to:
- clarify his or her idea, and conceptualize his or her product or services
- do his or her own market research, and define its value
- choose an economic model and implement his or her own business plan
- create his or her own brand, implement his or her business and communication strategies
- choose a judicial structure adapted to his or her project
- achieve an entrepreneurial stance, learn how to introduce himself or herself, and introduce his or her project
Introduction of the training
The training starts with an immersive business creation game which allows students to understand and experiment the different steps of an entrepreneurial project.
Courses allow students to obtain basic notions in the creation of a company (marketing, communication, commercial strategy, business model, intellectual property, company law etc.) in order to apply them to their project, during workshops and individual meetings.
This training is offered by the CELSA, a communication school, member of the “Conférence des Grandes Ecoles”, which allows students to benefit from solid trainings and advice, specifically in marketing and communication. Regarding double degrees, the entrepreneurship student can obtain the authorization to substitute his or her mandatory internship in order to have working times dedicated to the development of his or her entrepreneurship project (if the training director gives his or her agreement).
