Entrepreneurship is a major driver of modern economy. Students can be seen as potential future entrepreneurs. It is therefore very important to examine the main determinants of intentions for entrepreneurial activity. The study is based on the Theory of Planned Behaviour. According to her, the main determinants that affect the intention of certain behavior are attitudes, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control. The goal of the present paper is to analyze the influence of these three determinants on entrepreneurship intentions and career choice of business students in the three countries. The research encompasses a sample of business students trained in the Kazimierz Pulaski University of Technology and Humanities – Radom, Poland, Prof. Ass. Zlatarov – Burgas, Bulgaria and National University of Life and Environmental Sciences of Ukraine – Kiev, Ukraine.
