The MSc Entrepreneurship at UCL School of Management is designed for students who intend to start and run high impact, ‘for-profit’ innovative businesses.
Right from the start of the programme, you will learn the skills and gain the tools to start an innovative, high impact, new business.
From the first few weeks, you will be interviewing prospective customers, and subsequently learn how to do ‘rapid prototyping’, using the tools of ‘lean’ entrepreneurship, and pitching new ideas. Using UCL’s networks and reputation as a starting point to access London’s thriving entrepreneurship scene, you will find or develop a founding team and learn how to raise investor finance, or ‘bootstrap’ your business. This programme is about creating ‘for-profit’ enterprises which are committed to the principles of sustainable capitalism.
This programme was the first of its kind in Europe, for its single-minded focus on giving you the knowledge, skills, and network to start-up a business successfully. We pride ourselves on our rate of successful start-up creation, and every year work to launch more successful start-ups.
On this programme, you will find yourself among like-minded students who will be your allies during your studies – and in some cases, the co-founders with whom you will establish your future business.
This programme is designed for entrepreneurs who wish to start their own business. It is not designed for students who wish to have a traditional management career with a large corporation.
We require a minimum of an upper second-class Bachelor’s degree from a UK university, or an overseas qualification of an equivalent standard (see international students qualification equivalents).
Together with the academic requirements, applicants must normally have:

UCL offers a range of financial awards aimed at assisting both prospective and current students with their studies.
The MSc Entrepreneurship is a lifelong community. Our alumni continue to participate in the UCL ecosystem, and increasingly are hiring our graduates.
Approaching half of the graduating students will continue to develop their start-up rather than seek employment. However, others will want to secure additional work experience before starting their ventures.
MSc Entrepreneurship start-ups
Former MSc Entrepreneurship students have gone on to create a diverse range of start-up companies. A large selection can be found on our ‘Hall of Fame’ website. Alumni have also taken on positions within the tech entrepreneurship ecosystem, both in London and overseas, supporting other start-ups.

Other Entrepreneurial Careers
We are also very proud of those graduates who have gone on to exciting careers, using the innovation skills they have gained to make a difference for the organisations where they work.
As an MSc Entrepreneurship student, you will have access to a dedicated careers team who will help you present yourself to graduate employers with confidence, should you wish.
