As part of its entrepreneurship teaching, HM Hochschule München University of Applied Sciences is introducing a new teaching format, the Advanced Real Project, which specifically closes the gap between classic start-up teaching and practical start-up support. Prof. Dr. Dünnebeil (Faculty of Computer Science and Mathematics), Prof. Dr. Maisch (Faculty of Applied Natural Sciences and Mechatronics) and Prof. Dr. Wach (HM Business School) are responsible for the concept and implementation.

The course is aimed at advanced students with an interest in founding a company who have already gained initial experience in the field of entrepreneurship - e.g. through previous courses. The Advanced Real Project is thus designed as an in-depth and advanced course within HM's structured entrepreneurship offering, which ranges from early awareness-raising to incubation at the Strascheg Center for Entrepreneurship (SCE).
