In the past decades, entrepreneurship has become one of the top concepts in the business field. Its relevance has increased in the past five years due to the economic world crises. Despite the relevance of entrepreneurship, there is a lack of empirical evidences regarding the enabling factors of entrepreneurship. This work provides a review of the literature related to entrepreneurship and entrepreneurship education and sets the grounds for a deeper understanding of the impacts of the last element on university students’ propensity to become entrepreneurs. The data gathered and use in this work, covers four different countries and allow us to test the framework established. Findings of this paper indicate that entrepreneurship education is common ground in most countries and the individual characteristics are no longer truly distinctive between countries. On the other half, besides these conclusions, the results show that entrepreneurship education is a key component of entrepreneurship propensity among university students. Our analysis provides a roadmap to guide future research, leaving answered some questions that will be future paths of research.
