The rising prominence of entrepreneurship education (EE) for management students reflects its potential to cultivate entrepreneurial intentions, innovation, and socio-economic development in the future. However, despite increasing academic interest, the existing research in this field is limited and dispersed. This study conducted a systematic literature review of 82 peer-reviewed journal articles sourced from Scopus and the Web of Science (1995–2025). Using TCM and ADO frameworks, this study provides insights into the intellectual structure, conceptual evolution, and dominant themes of EE among management students. Findings show a focus on individual-level outcomes, such as entrepreneurial intention and self-efficacy, while long-term and behavioural outcomes are underexplored. Most studies have adopted psychological theories and quantitative methods, with limited interdisciplinary or qualitative approaches. Geographically, research is skewed towards high-income Anglophone nations, leaving significant contextual gaps. This review synthesizes the field and proposes directions for theoretical diversification, context inclusion, and mixed-methods longitudinal studies. It reframes EE not only as a pedagogical intervention, but also as a strategic tool for individual empowerment, institutional innovation, and inclusive development. © 2025 Elsevier Ltd
