Abstract:	The social environment, economic considerations, individual personality traits, and the educational context considerably affect young people's entrepreneurial intentions. This study aims to examine the impact of demographic and educational factors on entrepreneurial intentions among economics students and offers recommendations to enhance educational policy and pedagogy in Hungarian universities. The empirical foundation consists of survey data from 357 Hungarian bachelor's and master's students. Hypotheses were tested using regression analysis and Mann-Whitney U test. Results show that male students have significantly higher entrepreneurial intentions than female students, and age also affects these intentions. Undergraduate students show lower entrepreneurial intentions compared to graduate students. Although university support has a limited effect on fostering entrepreneurial intentions, many students develop a clear entrepreneurial career vision during their studies. The study concludes with recommendations to strengthen universities' roles in fostering students' entrepreneurial competencies. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
