MSc Entrepreneurship student Roaa Ahmed recently wrapped up an incredible few weeks at Copenhagen Business School 🇩🇰
Part of UCL's Global Engagement programme, Roaa attended the Social Entrepreneurship and Business Model Innovation summer university programme in Copenhagen👏
The programme introduced her to a range of different social enterprise models, diving into how these ventures are built and, more importantly, how they sustain their impact over time. It wasn't just theory and one of the most valuable parts of the programme was the site visits to social enterprises operating in Copenhagen, where students met directly with their leaders.
Roaa also loved that the programme was experiential by design. Each lecture wasn't just delivered. Instead, the group applied what they learned directly to a social enterprise model as a live project, which made the learning completely different from a lecture alone.
Describing her experience, Roaa said:
“It was very special to learn and work alongside a group from so many different nationalities and backgrounds. There's something about problem-solving with people who see the world differently that sharpens my own thinking, and I walked away with as much from those conversations as from the coursework itself.
Of course, I can't wrap this up without mentioning Copenhagen in summertime - long walks, hikes, and exploring the city after class made this chapter even more memorable.
Thank to UCL Global Engagement for supporting this opportunity. It added a dimension to my Entrepreneurship year that I know I'll carry forward.”
