Entrepreneurial studies in higher education: some insights for Entrepreneurship education in Europe
Magdalena Suska
Abstract
RESEARCH OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this paper is to assess the state of entrepreneurship education in higher education institutions in Europe (which are not universities for Economics) comparing the academic developments in the field of entrepreneurship in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) and Western Europe (WE).
THE RESEARCH PROBLEM AND METHODS: To fulfil the objective
of the paper such research methods as literature review and Internet research were applied.
THE PROCESS OF ARGUMENTATION: The process of arguments presented in this paper was systemized in two parts. Firstly, there was discussed the theoretical background of academic entrepreneurship education. Secondly, based on own Internet research there was presented and discussed the educational
programme in the field of entrepreneurship at selected European universities.
RESEARCH RESULTS: There are discrepancies in teaching entrepreneurship between universities in Europe. West-European universities offer a richer entrepreneurship programme than those in South-Europe. Moreover, universities in CEE lag behind those in WE in entrepreneurship education. Poland is an exception,
which offers a range of specialist subjects in the field of entrepreneurship, which Polish academics seem to specialize in.
CONCLUSIONS, INNOVATIONS, AND RECOMMENDATIONS:
The paper focuses on examining the entrepreneurship as a single subject (compulsory or optional) of university curriculum. It is recommended to analyze, if universities have specialist chairs for entrepreneurship and entrepreneurship centres offering a comprehensive entrepreneurship programme.
