Abstract. The negative environmental impacts of globalization have given birth to the concept of green entrepreneurship, which might still be absent in many courses in higher education. Furthermore, despite its prominent role, intention does not translate into behaviour that makes entrepreneurial activities happen. Therefore, green entrepreneurial behaviour in students plays an essential part in helping develop and enhance green entrepreneurship. This study tries to investigate the factors affecting the green entrepreneurial behaviour of students. An online questionnaire assessing the impact of 5 factors was distributed to 157 students from FPT University Da Nang in Vietnam, who have had experience studying any course related to entrepreneurship in the school. The results show the relations and correlations between five important factors and Green entrepreneurial behaviour. These findings could contribute to the literature relating to Green entrepreneurial behaviour and help educators in making decisions for green entrepreneurial development in higher school.
