Minor Program  |   Embrace TEC

Technology + Entrepreneurship + Creativity

Take a leap into

your future

Before you can embrace your true purpose and talents, you must first explore them.

The minor program Embrace TEC helps students define their drive and talents, entrepreneurial behaviour, uniqueness and how to utilise these individual assets. Regardless of study program or interests. It all starts with detoxing from traditional education and using the creative tools and thoughts that help you become the self-directed professional you're meant to be.

The cross-cultural, cross-disciplinary minor is embedded in a power-packed program that combines thoughtful individual explorations with the collective ambition to uncover the possibilities of tomorrow today. In 20 weeks, you get real hands-on experience in solving impactful and meaningful societal questions. You'll engage in awesome, inspiring challenges with fellow students and industry experts. You'll learn a lot about technologies like programming, 3D printing, woodwork and laser cutting while reflecting on yourself, your path, and your role in our hectic society.

First 5 weeks
of Embrace TEC

You will detox! The idea is that you detox from the traditional way of learning and adjust to a Pulsed learning style which is challenge-based and student-centred. You get raw and dirty with emerging technologies and creative tools, work together and individually, and take the first steps to figure out what you want to get out of this minor and how we can uncover your true identity and personal purpose together.

The days of detoxing are Tuesday, Wednesday Thursday.

Next 15 weeks
of Embrace TEC

With the whole minor group, you start working on group challenges that all last from one to 5 weeks. One of them is a meaningful Pulsed for Good challenge that includes mini-challenges and active work around a cause or an initiative that has an impact on society.

During these weeks of challenge work, you have the freedom to decide what kind of role you want to take and what you would like to learn during the process. You also choose a unique track to further work on your personal purpose or develop your entrepreneurial skills or business.

Each week you have three working days in the Pulsed room, divided into challenge days (Wednesday, Thursday) and a track day (Tuesday).
