Abstract

Social entrepreneurship serves as a vital catalyst for enhancing economic, environmental, social, political, and educational dimensions both locally and globally. Among the initiatives designed and executed within social entrepreneurship activities is the establishment of training platforms. Within this framework, the present study seeks to explore undergraduate students’ views, perceptions, and insights regarding social entrepreneurship based on the knowledge gained through their university-level entrepreneurship course. Since these undergraduate students are prospective social entrepreneurs, their interests, expectations, and understanding form the core focus of this research. Employing a qualitative methodology, the study utilized focus group interviews and unstructured observations to gather data. The participants included 20 undergraduate students enrolled at a foundation university in the TRNC during the 2019-2020 academic year. Findings indicate that the entrepreneurship course content indirectly contributed to raising students’ awareness about social entrepreneurship.
