Abstract

Unemployment of graduate students has increased these few years. With entrepreneurial education, graduates will have more career options and have the chance to be self-employed. Although the effects of entrepreneurial education on entrepreneurial intention can also be proved from previous research, research about what indicates a person to enrol in entrepreneurial education is rarely found. According to Ajzen’s theory of planned behaviour and previous research, how attitude, subjective norms and perceived behaviour control will affect a person looking for entrepreneurial education will be focused on in this study. This study is done through a quantitative research method. An online questionnaire will be distributed to universities that offer entrepreneurial programs, which are UTEM, UUM, and UMK and the data to determine the factors that will affect students’ entrepreneurial education intentions. As for the populations, UTeM have a total of 423 students enrolled in the Faculty of Technology Management And Technopreneurship (FPTT), UMK has a total of 511 students in the entrepreneurship institute, and UUM has 313 students enrolled in the College Of Business (COB) which add up to the sum of 1247 students. The Krejcie and Morgan sample size table determines the sampling size, 297 questionnaires is sent out for the population of 1247. To analyse the data, descriptive analysis was used to measure the respondent’s demography. To achieve the first research objective, Pearson's correlation coefficient was applied to explore the relationship between the independent variables towards the dependent variable. Lastly, multiple regression is used to examine the strength of independent variables affecting the independent variable to find the significant factor affecting students’ entrepreneurial education intention.
