Abstract	Entrepreneurial education has become an important component of higher education systems as universities increasingly focus on developing innovation capabilities, business awareness, and entrepreneurial competencies among students. The transition from traditional employment-oriented education toward entrepreneurship-focused learning has encouraged academic institutions to provide knowledge, skills, and experiences that support entrepreneurial thinking. This study examines the relationship between entrepreneurial education and start-up intention among university students by analysing key factors including entrepreneurial knowledge, self-efficacy, perceived feasibility, and innovation orientation. The research adopts a simulation-based analytical framework to explore how entrepreneurship-focused educational experiences influence students’ willingness to establish new ventures. A conceptual model was developed in which entrepreneurial education dimensions represent influencing factors and start-up intention represents the outcome variable. Simulated analytical values are used to demonstrate quantitative evaluation methods and interpret possible relationships between educational interventions and entrepreneurial aspirations. The findings indicate that entrepreneurial self-efficacy and practical learning experiences demonstrate strong influence on students’ start-up intentions. Students who receive entrepreneurship education involving business planning, innovation activities, mentoring, and experiential learning are more likely to develop confidence regarding venture creation. The study highlights that effective entrepreneurial education should move beyond theoretical knowledge and incorporate practical exposure to real-world entrepreneurial processes. The research contributes to entrepreneurship education literature by explaining how universities can strengthen entrepreneurial mindsets among students. The findings provide practical implications for educational institutions, policymakers, and entrepreneurship development programs seeking to encourage innovation-driven career pathways among young graduates.
