<![CDATA[Entrepreneurship education has become one of the primary strategies adopted by higher education institutions to foster entrepreneurial capabilities among students. However, previous studies have predominantly focused on examining the relationship between entrepreneurship education and entrepreneurial intention using quantitative approaches, leaving limited understanding of how educational experiences shape the entrepreneurial mindset from the perspectives of university graduates. This study aims to explore the lived experiences of university graduates who have participated in entrepreneurship education and to understand the process through which their entrepreneurial mindset is formed. A qualitative research design employing a phenomenological approach will be used to gain an in-depth understanding of participants' lived experiences. The participants will consist of university graduates who have completed entrepreneurship courses or entrepreneurship education programs and will be selected using purposive sampling. Data will be collected through in-depth interviews and analyzed using phenomenological analysis to identify the essential themes underlying participants' experiences. The study is expected to provide a comprehensive understanding of the process of entrepreneurial mindset formation, identify the factors influencing this process, and develop a conceptual model that contributes to the advancement of entrepreneurship education literature. The findings are also expected to offer practical implications for higher education institutions in designing entrepreneurship curricula and learning strategies that more effectively cultivate graduates with a strong entrepreneurial mindset.]]>
