Abstract: Abstract The main focus in the case of the University of Cambridge (UC) is set on its Centre for Entrepreneurial Learning (CfEL). CfEL’s mission is to spread the spirit of enterprise and this mission is deeply embedded in its approach to EE. CfEL offers a broad variety of innovative educational programmes, such as the Postgraduate Diploma in Entrepreneurship (PGDE), Enterprise Tuesday (ET), Ignite or EnterpriseWISE. In terms of methods, predominately practice-oriented teaching is employed, for instance through business plan seminars or applied case studies. CfEL further emphasises the importance of networks and collaboration, be it in its curricular or its extra-curricular activities. Entrepreneurs in residence and visiting entrepreneurs are strongly integrated into entrepreneurial teaching as lecturers, mentors, coaches or facilitators. CfEL also focuses on collaborating with students in order to consider their needs and demands in educational planning.
