Launching Entrepreneurship Micro-credentials at Bifröst University
Reykjavík - 24 March 2025:
Starting in autumn 2025, R. Michael Hendrix will teach in a new Entrepreneurship Micro-credential program at Bifröst University. Developed with the Breiðholt Service Center and supported by a university collaboration under the Iceland Ministry of Higher Education, the program builds on his design thinking curriculum. It expands to include entrepreneurial theory and practical applications in Iceland, taught alongside Arnar Sigurðsson and Fida Abu Libdeh.This 18-ECTS university-level program is open to anyone interested in Iceland’s startup and innovation community. Taught in English, it improves access to higher education, especially for those who do not speak Icelandic as their first language. Although 90% of course materials at Icelandic universities are in English, people of foreign origin enroll at lower rates. This program helps close that gap and promotes diversity in higher education.
Students will learn through theory, hands-on exercises, and case studies. They will develop entrepreneurial skills, understand the business environment, and explore how to start and sustain a company. To apply, visit Bifröst University’s website.
