Social entrepreneurship has the potential to serve as a conduit for reinforcing various sectors, such as the economy, society, environment, politics, and education, on both local and global scales. One of the key initiatives in social entrepreneurship is the creation of training platforms to support these activities. This research focuses on assessing undergraduate students’ perspectives, attitudes, and awareness of social entrepreneurship based on the knowledge they have gained through their entrepreneurship courses at the university. Given that these students represent the future generation of social entrepreneurs, this study primarily examines their expectations, interests, and current understanding of the topic. A qualitative research approach was used, incorporating ‘focus group discussions’ and ‘unstructured observations’ as data collection methods. The study was conducted with a group of 20 undergraduate students from a foundation university in the TRNC during the 2019-2020 academic year. The results showed that the knowledge students acquired in their entrepreneurship courses had an indirect effect on their awareness of social entrepreneurship.
