In order to enhance entrepreneurship in an economy; policymakers should focus on promoting university students' entrepreneurial intentions. In this context, the study examines the differences in entrepreneurship intentions of university students according to demographic variables. The data were achieved from 574 students studying at universities in the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus. The data were analyzed with the help of the SPSS-23 program.
