foundation required for carrying out tasks during the CSE Business

have to submit for examination after the CSE Business Project.
Enrollment in the CSEs Proof Program. Your startup will need to be
approved and be part of the CSE Incubator. Apply for the CSE Proof

Requirements for
the CSE Business
Project Report
- You must have an academic supervisor, a CBS academic faculty
from whom you are eligible for 4 hours of supervision if you are
one student and 5 hours of supervision if you are two students. The
purpose of the supervision is to ensure that the CSE Business
Project relates to relevant theoretical and empirical problems
within the chosen study area.
- In cooperation with your CBS academic supervisor you must
decide on a curriculum of minimum 1200 pages. The curriculum for
the CSE Business Project Report must only overlap with previously
used literature by 400 pages. In the CSE Business Project Report
you may draw on – and appropriately refer to – the literature and
textbooks you have used in your programme of study. The 800 pages
of the curriculum requirements for the CSE Business Project Report
must be new. The student needs to document that the number of pages
of literature equals the required numbers.
- The report must describe, analyse and discuss the tasks carried
out and problems dealt with during the CSE Business Project and/or
the tasks with which your start-up company is engaged in, with the
point of departure in a relevant theoretical and/or empirical
literature.
- The report must be structured as an academic report with a
clear research question, a literature review, a methodological
section, and an analysis against the backdrop of the reviewed
literature. The report must use appropriate academic referencing.
Finally, it must include reflections concerning the academic skills
learned at the BSc BLC programme and used during the CSE Business
Project, as well as a discussion of your start-up process in
relation to your further studies and career.
- The report must be written in English. It must include a 500
words executive summery written in English.
- The agreement with the CSE and documentation of the completed
CSE Business Project must be enclosed in Appendix.
- The report must be submitted via Digital
Exam.

| Course content, structure and pedagogical
approach |
|
The CSE Business Project is an opportunity and
a means to link theory-and-practice within entrepreneurship and
prepare for the bachelor project.
The CSE Business Project can only take place at the Copenhagen
School of Entrepreneurship (CSE) at CBS.
We ask you to contact the CSE for finding the CBS academic
supervisor before you begin the CSE Business Project in order to
ensure a purposive observation, data collection and reflection
during the CSE Business Project. The CBS supervisor is an academic
faculty employed at CBS within the areas of innovation and
entrepreneurship. During the first 6 weeks of the CSE Business
Project you should reach an agreement with your CBS academic
supervisor on a topic and a research question that falls within the
profile of the BSc BLC programme.
General requirements
- A copy of the agreement between you and the CSE and a work
description written by you and the CSE Business Developer
supervisor must be submitted with the application.
- The work assignments must be relevant for the BSc BLC
programme.
- The student, the CSE internship supervisor and
the CBS academic project supervisor will align the
objectives with the CSE Business Project no later than one week
after starting the CSE Business Project. Ideally, the alignment is
done before the CSE Business Project begins. The alignment can be
achieved through a physical meeting, an online meeting, or as
exchange of e-mails/messages.
- After the CSE Business Project, the student and the CSE
business developer supervisor must document that you have worked at
the CSE during the CSE Business Project. The documentation must be
enclosed as an appendix to the CSE Busienss Project Report.
- The CSE Business Project is transferred as an elective and the
requirements for the CSE Business Project Report are the same as
for a regular exam. The CSE Business Poject is part of your
academic specialization and therefore the theoretical and critical
reflection of the tasks and the curriculum must be at the BSc BLC
level.
- The report submission deadlines will be announced on my.cbs.dk
and Digital Exam.
- The length of the CSE Business Project is minimum 3 months and
a minimum of 30 hours per week, corresponding to 390 hours student
work.
Types of teams who can apply for
the
CSE Business Project
All requirements listed above apply to the two types of CSE
Busienss Project mentioned below.
- The individual CSE Business Project. The student has an
individual agreement with the CSE. The student submits a report in
accordance with the listed requirements.
- The group CSE Business Project. Students can participate in
cross-department or cross-university arrangement, where students
work in groups on a start-up project/concept/solution defined by
the group or a university consortia. Based on the shared start-up
process case, the student has to submit an individual report that
fulfils the listed requirements.
