The KICK Academy is a set of courses focusing on entrepreneurship and intrapreneurship. Students wishing to obtain an KICK Certificate must obtain at least 18 ECTS from the courses mentioned below. Each student must ensure their selection includes at least one course from both primary categories: “Entrepreneurship in Theory” and “Entrepreneurial Skills.” Furthermore, a minimum of 6 ECTS must be obtained from courses outside a student's primary enrollment, facilitated through a credit contract. Please note that some of the courses may only be accessible for students with certain backgrounds.
Students need not undertake all the courses within a single academic year; instead, they may distribute them across their entire tenure at KU Leuven.
(*) Students who have included the Practical Interdisciplinary Project (PiP) in their primary enrolment can contact KICK to request an exemption for this and valorize it within the KICK Academy program.-
