This study was designed to investigate the relationship between the Egyptian university student’s perception toward entrepreneurship and their intention to start-up their own business after graduation,
The results didn’t support the relationship between (gender, and business opportunity) as factors that perform the students’ perception toward entrepreneurship and their intention to start-up a business after graduation. On the other hand, the results supported the relationship between (perception of self-efficiency, barriers, and motives) as factors that perform the students’ perception toward entrepreneurship and their intention to start-up a business after graduation. Based on these results, the researcher proposed a number of recommendations in order to direct the performance of public and private educational institutions in Egypt towards entrepreneurship, the most important of which is the introduction of new courses on entrepreneurship in Egyptian universities, in order to enhance students’ perceptions towards entrepreneurship and thus encourage them to move towards entrepreneurship, and inviting entrepreneur guest speakers by the universities’ training centers to engage in question-and-answer sessions, explain their success stories, and share their experiences. Guest speakers can give real-life examples of how small firms are established and operated, providing students a greater understanding of the "real world" of entrepreneurship obstacles and possibilities that entrepreneurs may face.
