Learning by collaboration

Students are grouped into smaller teams according to the expertise networks and meet weekly to discuss, debate and give feedback.

Learning by doing

Students spend more than 60% of their time on projects so they can sharpen their skills through practice.

Learning by teaching

As senior members students mentor, coach and help recruit the next team. This is the best way to ensure concept and skills have been fully acquired and demonstrated.

PROGRAM COST

The Future Leaders Program is a free learning program for all university students where students can complete three modules at no cost and receive a badge after completion. However, if students wish to complete all 4 modules of the program, receive a certificate and become a part of the alumni community, they can find start-ups that would like to invest in young talent at an estimated cost of 150 Euros per student.
