“…In addition, Walter et al (2013) point out that during the course of higher education, the four factors of the organization of study that play a key role in the future business of students are: entrepreneurial education, support programs for entrepreneurship, interconnection with industry, and research orientation. In this context, it is important to improve the quality of education, particularly through the development of entrepreneurial skills and competencies as the main factors of motivation for start-ups activities (Doğan, 2015;Farhangmehr et al, 2016;Shirokova, Osiyevskyy, Morris, & Bogatyreva, 2017). However, entrepreneurship education generally has a greater effect on business and social sciences students (Marques et al, 2018).…”

The aim of this paper is to examine how university students perceive the selected attributes of university education quality in the context of their possible entrepreneurial activities and to explore the differences between genders in this regard. A total of 977 students from Czech and Slovak universities were surveyed. The Z-test for two population proportions was employed to test the hypotheses. The majority of university students positively perceived the quality of university education in general as well as the quality of education at their faculty. Approximately two thirds of the students in both countries agreed that the acquired knowledge may help them in their future entrepreneurship activities. Czech students perceived the quality of education more positively compared to their Slovak counterparts, despite the fact that they had lower entrepreneurial intention. This research shows there are differences in male and female students' views. In both countries, female students perceived the quality of education more positively, whereas male students declared a statistically higher interest in

“…More specifically, we recommend that students should actively seek out courses from other departments and become involved in networking events, initiative programs, pitch competitions, conferences, and activities that are provided by entrepreneurship centers. Recently, scholars have emphasized “the importance of co-curricular activities in developing student’ social capital” (Shirokova, Osiyevskyy, Morris, & Bogatyreva, 2017, p. 935). Therefore, we suggest university students should involve themselves in activities not only from their departments but also from diverse areas to enhance their overall entrepreneurial capabilities.…”

In this study, we examine the influence of university-based education on students' entrepreneurial capabilities. While the prevalence of entrepreneurship education is dramatically increasing worldwide, the education that business and engineering students receive throughout their academic experience wields a direct influence on several entrepreneurial capabilities. The purpose of this study is to measure these educational influences on three specific entrepreneurial capabilities-networking skill, proactiveness, and self-confidence. Moreover, we aim to raise awareness for faculty and students in these various programs as they form networks and optimize the knowledge obtained throughout their education. We test the hypotheses using data collected from 927 university students. Advice for policy makers, university students, and their respective educational departments is further discussed.

“…An emerging stream of literature suggests a relationship between the university context and entrepreneurial intentions of students (Bae et al 2014;Beliaeva, Laskovaia, and Shirokova 2017;Liñ an, Rodrigues-Cohard, and Rueda-Cantuche 2011;Sesen 2013;Turker and Selcuk 2009;Zhang, Duysters, and Cloodt 2014). The university environment includes a number of interrelated parts that can impact student entrepreneurship (Morris, Shirokova, and Tsukanova 2017;Shirokova et al 2017). The spirit of the educational environment, its shared values and norms, leadership and governance, infrastructure, and its particular entrepreneurship-related offerings can affect entrepreneurial intentions and actions (Morris, Kuratko, and Cornwall 2013;Morris, Shirokova, and Tsukanova 2017;Sotirakou 2004).…”

Student proclivity to start a venture can be affected not only by the university environment where they are exposed to entrepreneurship, but also by perceptions of how desirable entrepreneurial behavior is considered to be in a given society. Based on an embeddedness perspective, and using a sample of students from 26 countries and 489 universities, evidence is produced of significant positive relationships between both curricular and co-curricular programing and student start-up activities, with specific cultural dimensions moderating these impacts. University seed funds for students negatively impact the scope of start-up activities. Implications are drawn for educators and policy makers.
