Abstract

A study was conducted to determine the relationship between educational support and entrepreneurial intention of Universiti Teknikal Malaysia Melaka students. The psychological model based on Ajzen’s Theory of Planned Behaviour was used to identify the factors influencing the entrepreneurial intention of these students. The study analyzes the relationship between educational supports on entrepreneurial intention. Data were collected via questionnaire from 133 students from different batch of Technopreneurship program offered in Universiti Teknikal Malaysia Melaka. The study utilized correlation, regression statistics and independent T- test analyses to analyze the data. The finding of the survey shows that there is a significant relationship between syllabus factor (r=0.666), teaching style factor (r=0.459) and co- curriculum factor (r=0.709) towards entrepreneurial intention. The T- test analysis shows that only in the syllabus aspect there is significant difference between undergraduate and graduate students of Universiti Teknikal Malaysia Melaka. It is suggested co- curriculum through educational support in this university is an efficient way of obtaining necessary knowledge about entrepreneurship. The result of the study has valuable implications for policy makers in Higher Education Division, university administrators and educators.
