Acceleration Academy

Instead of a fixed programme, this minor has a lot of options. In fact, every three weeks you choose a new module that focuses on specific topics. Previous modules have included Intercultural Awareness, Artificial Intelligence and Analytics, International Business and Multicultural Relations, and Entrepreneurship.  

You have 5 choices per module: you can always take one module in Eindhoven. For the other four, we cooperate with partner universities abroad. This means that every three weeks you can choose to study somewhere else in the world. You arrange and pay for your accommodation in the city of your choice. Of course, you can also choose to do the entire minor at Fontys in Eindhoven. 

Below you will find a list of our partner universities. The range of modules varies from semester to semester, so we cannot guarantee that all of these universities will be available at the time you start the minor. 

• • Florida International University Genoa Italy
  • St. Cloud State University, Alnwick UK
  • CPUT in Cape Town, South Africa
  • Stamford International University /Kasetsart University, Bangkok Thailand, Luang Prabang Laos, and Ho Chi Minh Vietnam
  • North Park University, Chicago, USA
  • Maxima Nivel, San José, Costa Rica; Atigua, Guatamala; Cusco, Peru
  • CUNEF Madrid Spain
  • IPAG Business School, Paris, France

The programme has no written exams (except abroad) and is based on your personal development in professional behaviour, initiative and self-leadership. Your personal coach will accompany and coach you throughout the semester. The overall coach will assess you at the end of the programme and this will account for 50% of your final mark. The other 50% of your final mark is linked to the successful completion of the 6 modules. You will receive 30 credits on successful completion of all assessments and tests. Each module is worth 5 credits.
