How is this Programme Unique?

Teaching Approach

The programme is taught with a 'learn by doing' approach. While, like any UCL Master's degree, a rigorous base of research underlies the programme, the emphasis is on supporting students to develop the skills needed to succeed as CEO and/or co-founder of a high-impact, innovative business.

Beyond the Lectures

Students are encouraged to work in a collaborative manner in a positive, friendly, and dynamic environment. Additional training workshops, such as in pitching skills, are provided – the aim is to build up the skills to successfully pitch business ideas in real-life scenarios.
