%X This paper aims to explore how self-motivation plays a crucial role in intra-university entrepreneurial activities among college students at higher education institutions. It hypothesizes that dreams serve as a mediating mechanism between self-motivation and intra-university entrepreneurship, further analyzing the moderating effect of university entrepreneurship education within this context. Through analyzing data from 107 intra-university entrepreneurial activities conducted by students at Anhui Wenda Information Engineering University over the past five years, it is found that self-motivation has a positive upward influence on students¡¯ intra-university entrepreneurial activities. Entrepreneurship education acts as a specific intermediary bridge between these two factors. University entrepreneurship education positively moderates the relationship between self-motivation and students¡¯ intra-university entrepreneurial activities.
