This research aims to evaluate the determinants that influence the interest of Portuguese higher education students (HEI\u2019s) to become entrepreneurs. The methodology used is quantitative and uses structural model equations. The results obtained demonstrate that the student\u2019s perception of business skills, business growth skills, strategy, and successful business are key factors that students take into account in their entrepreneurial orientation. The research contributes to this theory by adding new knowledge to the literature on the perception of the HEI\u2019s students to become entrepreneurs, specifically the students of Portuguese universities. In practical terms, the contributions offered within this research are based on suggestions for the third mission of universities, explicitly knowledge transfer to the community, business groups, and policy makers, as well as the creation of the essentials within university boundaries to promote entrepreneurship amongst its students. The research is original and innovative, as no research on this field with all the aggregated elements under study has been previously performed in Portugal. Furthermore, the obtained results can translate into ideas that potentially create jobs.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/educsci11120771","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,11,29]],"date-time":"2021-11-29T22:50:45Z","timestamp":1638226245000},"page":"771","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":17,"title":["Determinants of the Entrepreneurial Influence on Academic Entrepreneurship\u2014Lessons Learned from Higher Education Students in Portugal"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"11","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2968-4026","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jo\u00e3o M.","family":"Lopes","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Miguel Torga Institute of Higher Education & NECE-UBI\u2014Research Unit in Business Sciences, University of Beira Interior, Estrada do Sineiro, s\/n, 6200-209 Covilh\u00e3, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6614-7126","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"M\u00e1rcio","family":"Oliveira","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"NECE\u2014Research Unit in Business Sciences, ISLA Santar\u00e9m\u2014Instituto Superior de Gest\u00e3o e Administra\u00e7\u00e3o de Santar\u00e9m, Largo C\u00e2ndido dos Reis 2000-241 Santar\u00e9m, and Polytechnic Institute of Leiria, Rua General Norton de Matos, Apartado 4133, 2411-901 Leiria, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4014-8491","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jos\u00e9","family":"Oliveira","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"ISPGAYA, Av. dos Descobrimentos 333, 4400-103 Vila Nova de Gaia, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1201-9636","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Marlene","family":"Sousa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"CICS.NOVA\u2014Interdisciplinary Center of Social Sciences, Polytechnic Institute of Leiria, Rua General Norton de Matos, Apartado 4133, 2411-901 Leiria, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9187-6117","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"T\u00e2nia","family":"Santos","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"CICS.NOVA\u2014Interdisciplinary Center of Social Sciences, Polytechnic Institute of Leiria, Rua General Norton de Matos, Apartado 4133, 2411-901 Leiria, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0326-0655","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sofia","family":"Gomes","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"REMIT\u2014Research on Economics, Management and Information Technologies, University Portucalense, R.
