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.
Minimum of 2:1 honours or equivalent in a relevant discipline.

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. For recent news of MSc Entrepreneurship alumni activity visit UCL School of Management.
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.
