MSc Bioscience Innovation and Enterprise

UCL (University College London)

Build a purposeful career translating science into business innovation. This programme empowers students to create new social and economic value from bioscience research ideas, by learning the skills from entrepreneurship, technology and management that are most relevant to science innovation. This ground-breaking MSc spans bioscience, business and innovation. It is designed for enterprising students who want to work across the science-business interface. You will learn the language of business such that you can identify new opportunities from science. You will learn how to fit potential research solutions - from areas such as stem cells, regenerative treatments, digital innovation, imaging and AI - to real-world problems. Implementing bioscience ideas can be challenging, but the need for innovators who can speak both the language of business and science, has never been greater. This MSc is based at the UCL Institute of Ophthalmology. The Institute has a global reputation in translational science across many areas - from public health and imaging, through to genetics and neuroscience. The programme also draws on expertise from the clinical excellence of Moorfields Eye Hospital, and from companies like Google DeepMind and the recent Institute spinout, Tenpoint Therapeutics. This programme is for individuals who want to build their career at the bioscience-business interface, either in a start-up, as innovators in a research-based organisation, as investors or consultants, or in technology transfer. The expertise that you gain is a combination of bioscience and broader management knowledge. These cross-disciplinary transferable skills are in demand in many different translational and policy settings. Applicants should have either a science- or technology-based first degree, or a business-related first degree plus demonstrable interests and/or work experience in an area of bioscience innovation such as digital health. This programme is also suitable for intercalating Medical Students.
