Entrepreneurship in campus drives a particular student to be engaged in activities that
not only enhance his/her achievement in academic but also strengthens his/her
confidence attribute and instill relevant qualities and skills to be successful upon and after
graduation. Such valuable experience may extend its effect after students’ graduation
during which they may start their own businesses. Therefore, this proposed study aims
to test the relationship between entrepreneurship experience and its continued effect
after graduation among Universiti Malaysia Terengganu Students. In addition to the
experience, two other factors including family background and social factors are proposed
to have similar effect that incite the continuity of entrepreneurship after graduation. The
data will be collected through self-administered questionnaire survey which will be
distributed to targeted 200 respondents. The research results are expected to provide
some valuable insights to relevant units in the university to design new and/or improve
their existing programmes to be more focused towards the significant intervention
variables that encourage prolonged entrepreneurship effect after graduation in the effort
to support the national aspiration in producing more native entrepreneurs.
