Empower Entrepreneurship
A Bachelor fit for the 21st century
Starting your own business is the first and most important thing you do during your study at Team Academy. Making your own money in your own company with real customers. By working together in small teams you learn with and from each other. This, in our belief, is the basis of our learning philosophy.
“Opportunities don’t happen. You create them.”

The Team Academy Program
BBA – Entrepreneurship
Team Academy is a 4-year full-time Bachelor degree called: the Bachelor of Business Administration in Entrepreneurship. The graduates of Team Academy’s Bachelor degree are qualified to lead the creation of new companies, work on business development inside enterprises, or choose to continue to work in their own company.
In order to achieve these competencies, the students will Learn By Doing, work in self-managed teams and set up real companies at the start of their studies while working on projects for real customers. The money earned is invested into Learning Journeys all over the world.
