Abstract
The purpose of this research is to examine the extent to which the university, through its training activities, promotes sustainable entrepreneurship skills among students. A tool is implemented among 384 students in the field of administrative economics. The statistical factor analysis method is used to calculate descriptive statistics and measures of central tendency and dispersion. The research is based on the study of five dimensions that determine the competencies linked to sustainable entrepreneurship. These dimensions achieve reliability levels exceeding 0.80 on Cronbach's alpha, which is highly acceptable. The method used consisted of a 59-item self-perception questionnaire that included the potentialities that constitute the sustainable entrepreneurship model. It was observed that the educational activities offered by the university have an impact on the development of entrepreneurial and sustainability orientation in students. Furthermore, no statistically significant variations were observed in the variables analyzed in relation to gender.
