Title: From University Student to Entrepreneur - Factors Influencing the Entrepreneurial Intentions of Business Development MSc Students

Abstract: This study examines the entrepreneurial inclinations of young Hungarians, focusing
on university students whose education and ambitions point towards entrepreneurial
life. The research questions aimed to explore the career aspirations of students,
their motivations for starting a business, the factors that hinder them, and how
the university creates an encouraging environment. To answer these questions,
a questionnaire-based survey ensuring comparability was conducted among MSc
students of business development, and the data were evaluated with descriptive
statistical tools and statistical tests as well as cluster analysis. It was found that the
young people whose entrepreneurial inclination is higher than the Hungarian and
international average mainly differ from their peers in their drive for autonomy,
courage and risk perception, along with the fact that, in relation to the scarcity of
capital, which was found to be a major obstacle, they would also welcome assistance
from universities in financing.
