Academic education plays a significant role in the development of the society, designing the pathway to the empowerment of people. Beyond transmitting the accumulated knowledge and experience, it helps creating new knowledge and competences with the active effort and engagement of scholars who constantly challenge the unknown. The educational system has constantly made efforts in order to meet the requirements of the business environment (in terms of teaching specific skills or adjusting the curricula to meet the new labour market needs), and to sustain the aspirations of the working force, as well as the economic growth and general welfare. Some theoretical approaches agree that there is a positive correlation between the entrepreneurial education and students’ entrepreneurial intentions, as students become motivated to pursue an entrepreneurial career and to actually start up new ventures. The aim of this study is to highlight the significant role universities play in stimulating and fostering students’ entrepreneurial mindset in order to meet the requirements of the business environment in a globalized world.
