This study exploits Theory of Planned Behaviour to capture the entrepreneurial intention among students in Universiti Utara Malaysia (UUM). It was revealed that entrepreneurial skills, environmental support and motivational were the key factors which positively related with entrepreneurial intention among the students. Self administered questionnaires were distributed to the students of Bachelor in Business Administration (BBA) and Bachelor of Entrepreneurship (BEnt) students in UUM in
order to identify their entrepreneurial intention and the influence factors. A stratified sampling technique was used to among 200 students who participated in the study.
