Abstract: The purpose of this study was to establish students' perceptions and expectations of entrepreneurship education. A quantitative research method was adopted for the study, and data was collected using a structured questionnaire. Data was collected from students of the two universities in South Africa with different characteristics. Regarding the demographic, one was in the city, and the other was in a rural area. Data analysis was computed using Stata version 15. The findings indicate that the students are agreeable that entrepreneurship education is important to provide an understanding of entrepreneurial activities. They further stated that it inspires them to start the businesses either during and/or after completing their qualifications. It is further noted that the students from the city university are more optimistic about entrepreneurship education than those in a rural university setting. It can be concluded that students perceive entrepreneurship education as a way of inspiring them to take entrepreneurship as a career.
