Abstract: While social intelligence represents understanding each individual belonging to the society and acting skillfully in human relations, social entrepreneurship is an important type of entrepreneurship in order to eliminate inequalities between people around the world. In this quantitative study, which is planned as a cross-sectional type, it is aimed to determine the effect of social intelligence on the perception of social entrepreneurship of university students who are about to start their profession. Questionnaire technique was used as a data collection tool in the research. The research was conducted with 149 students who were candidates to graduate from a state university vocational school. In line with the findings, a moderate, positive and statistically significant relationship was determined between social intelligence and social entrepreneurship. As a result of the regression analysis, it was determined that 12% of the variance in social entrepreneurship was related to social intelligence.
