Abstract: We study when there exists a dense holomorphic curve in a space of holomorphic maps from a Stein space. We first show that for any bounded convex domain

O m e g a S u b s e t m a t h b b C^{n}

and any connected complex manifold

Y

, the space

m a t h c a l O (O m e g a, Y)

contains a dense holomorphic disc. Our second result states that

Y

is an Oka manifold if and only if for any Stein space

X

there exists a dense entire curve in every path component of

m a t h c a l O (X, Y)

. In the second half of this paper, we apply the above results to the theory of universal functions. It is proved that for any bounded convex domain

O m e g a S u b s e t m a t h b b C^{n}

, any fixed-point-free automorphism of

O m e g a

and any connected complex manifold

Y

, there exists a universal map

O m e g a o Y

. We also characterize Oka manifolds by the existence of universal maps.
