| Abstract: | This study explored how different types of entrepreneurship education influence students’ entrepreneurial intentions, using data from the GUESSS 2023 global student survey with over 200,000 respondents. The study further examines whether education shapes intention through elements in the theory of planned behaviour, such as entrepreneurial attitude, self-efficacy and subjective norms. A quantitative research design was used, using multiple linear regression to analyse the data. The findings indicate that students who participate in entrepreneurship education are significantly more likely to intend to start a business. Moreover, entrepreneurial education significantly improved both entrepreneurial attitude and self-efficacy, which were found to be strong predictors of intention. These findings emphasise the psychological mechanisms through which education enhances entrepreneurial ambition and offer actionable insights for curriculum development aimed at fostering student entrepreneurship. |
