ENTREPRENEURSHIP IN HIGHER EDUCATION: A BIBLIOMETRIC ANALYSIS OF RESEARCH TRENDS AND FUTURE DIRECTIONS FROM

Siti Rachmatilah

Abstract


This study aims to provide a comprehensive bibliometric analysis of research trends and future directions in entrepreneurship within higher education contexts from 2010 to 2025. Utilizing data retrieved from the Scopus database, a total of 616 peer-reviewed journal articles within the subject areas of Social Sciences, and Business, Management, and Accounting were analyzed using VOSviewer and Biblioshiny software. Results reveal a steady growth in academic interest, with an annual publication increase of 4.73%. Spain, the United Kingdom, and the United States emerged as the most productive countries, underscoring their substantial influence in shaping scholarly discussions. Keyword co-occurrence and cluster analyses identified several prominent research themes, including entrepreneurial intentions, social entrepreneurship, technology transfer, innovation, experiential learning, and sustainability. These findings illustrate the multidimensional nature of research on entrepreneurship education, highlighting both traditional areas of focus and emerging trends. Based on these insights, future research is encouraged to further explore digital transformation’s role in entrepreneurial education, integrate sustainability into curricular and institutional practices, and investigate the long-term impact of entrepreneurship education on students' career outcomes and broader socio-economic development. This analysis provides a robust reference for researchers, policymakers, and educational institutions aiming to advance entrepreneurship education in the rapidly evolving landscape of higher education.
