The Bridge Program is an exciting initiative aimed at introducing first-year students to entrepreneurship through a series of practical sessions on design thinking. During this program, students discover the five essential stages of design thinking and put them into practice by working on group projects.

Our approach, focused on learning through practice, allows students to develop essential skills in collaboration, creativity, and problem-solving. Throughout the program, students are encouraged to innovate, experiment, and take risks to develop original solutions to real problems.

At the end of the program, students have the opportunity to present their projects to an audience of experts, university staff, and alumni. This presentation is an opportunity for students to showcase their communication, presentation, and idea defense skills.
