Abstract

Malaysia's government has made entrepreneurship courses mandatory for all public university students to influence the intention of cultivating entrepreneurs among the graduates. The target population focused on non-Bumiputera public university students because 60% of companies registered in Malaysia are owned by non-Bumiputera entrepreneurs. The purpose of this research is to discover the effectiveness of entrepreneurial education in influencing non-Bumiputera students' business start-up intention. The primary data for this research was collected by distributing 384 questionnaires survey to respondents via Google Forms and analyzed by using Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS). The result from Pearson’s Correlation and Multiple Regression analysis showed that there are three independent variables which are attitudes towards entrepreneurship, self-efficacy, and perceived behavioral control are significantly related to the business start-up intention. Meanwhile, education support has no significant relationship with business start-up intention among non-Bumiputera public university students in Malaysia. This research brings benefits to the government to improve entrepreneurial education and enhance the business start-up intention among public university students in Malaysia.
