This study aims to identify the entrepreneurial trends of students and to assess whether there is an impact of demographic variables (age and gender) and self-capacity perception. The study included a total of 339 students, including 242 women and 97 men. There has been a meaningful positive relationship between students’ self-quality levels and entrepreneurial trends (r=0,384; p<0,01) and there has also been a conclusion that self-quality levels have a significant impact on entrepreneurial trends (p=0,000; p<0,01). When we look at the gender factor, it has been found that male students have higher entrepreneurial tendencies than female students (p=0,004; p<0,05). There was no meaningful relationship between the age factor and the entrepreneurial tendency (r=-0,034; p>0,01). Another remarkable finding in the study found that 60.8% of students wanted to work in the public after their graduation. Other students, respectively, stated that they wanted to work in the private sector (15.3%) or that they wanted to set up their own business (9.4%). The findings obtained under the research have been observed to be similar to the findings expressed in literature (except the age variable). It was also emphasized that for subsequent studies it was necessary to expand the sampling group and increase the number of variables affecting the entrepreneurial trend.
