Abstract: Considering the crucial role of entrepreneurship education in universities for the economic development (Nguyen & Nguyen, 2024), this study seeks to map the research landscape in the entrepreneurship education field. A bibliometric literature review was conducted to quantitatively analyze the literature published in the last decade in Scopus. This study adopts the PRISMA framework (The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses) to examine 668 papers. The prominent contributions in this domain were summarized through adopting VOSviewer software and the R bibliometric packages. Our analysis revealed the distribution of entrepreneurship education in universities across the years 2013-2023, with the leading countries in this field and notable journals and authors with high impact factors being identified, alongside the keywords with the highest occurrence and the key subject areas involved. This research provides a rigorous quantitative study of research within entrepreneurship education in universities over the last decade, providing a comprehensive overview and guiding future research directions, with its theoretical contribution lying in systematic bibliometric mapping that reveals knowledge structures, research evolution patterns, and critical gaps within entrepreneurship education research, thereby establishing an empirical foundation for future theoretical development and methodological advancement in the field.
