Summary/Abstract: Entrepreneurship is a key competence for personal development and an activity consisting in the creative generation of ideas, based on the identification and use of opportunities and market niches, and the implementation of these ideas by undertaking business ventures. The purpose of the article is: 1. the diagnosis of the level of entrepreneurial competences of students of the Pedagogical University of Krakow and the University of Rzeszów using the EntreComp methodology developed for the European Commission; and 2. the identification of relationships in the level of entrepreneurial competences that differentiate the surveyed people in terms of the following features: demographic, material status, place of residence, professional situation, length of study period and field of study. The methodology recommended by the European Commission for use in entrepreneurship education processes provides a framework for the training of entrepreneurial competences recognised by the EU as key competences. The purpose of the article was achieved by a survey conducted in May and June 2019 on a sample of 106 students. The authors’ study fills the research gap to some extent by approaching entrepreneurship as a trend focusing on entrepreneurial competences highlighted by key EU bodies. A separate trend, equally popular in literature, studies entrepreneurship as a phenomenon focusing on entrepreneurial activities.
