Abstract: Female entrepreneurship has emerged as a topic of great interest in research and society in general. Over the last few years, there has been a significant increase in the number of women starting their own businesses and ventures around the world. Based on this, this article aims to analyze female university entrepreneurship as a competitive factor to strengthen the professional profile of university students. It is framed in a quantitative approach, using a questionnaire based on a Likert scale considering 5 points, with six questions on sociodemographic data and 30 questions divided into 9 dimensions. For its analysis, the Mann Whitney U and Kruskall Wallis tests were used, having as results that entrepreneurial intention (4.44), intrinsic motivation (4.36), attitude (4.32), innovation (4.31), self-efficacy (4.23) and extrinsic motivation (4.20) are the most valued criteria. It is concluded that female university entrepreneurship presents particular characteristics in terms of motivation, financing and entrepreneurial approach. Entrepreneurial university women tend to be business career students, hard-working and thrifty, but they face difficulties in obtaining financing.
