: Education, in its dual role, both social and economic, has a key role to play in ensuring that the students acquire the key competencies, at least in entrepreneurial skills and financial literacy. The goal of the research is to investigate if there is a relationship between student’s characteristics from the different EU countries and perception of the importance of financial knowledge in their education, in their business and in private life. In order to investigate research goals, the empirical survey has been conducted on the sample of 524 non- financial studies students from Croatia, Portugal, Spain and Poland. The overall conclusion of this research is that higher education should review their educations programs and align them with entrepreneurship needs.
