Undergraduate · UCL Medical Innovation and Enterprise
UCL Medical Innovation and Enterprise: medical science with a business edge
UCL's Medical Innovation and Enterprise BSc teaches medical science in fast-developing fields such as nanomedicine and stem cell therapy and pairs it with business management and technology innovation skills. It is aimed at students who want to turn science into healthcare products and companies, not to practise as doctors. Entry needs Biology and another science at AAA.

What UCL asks for in Medical Innovation and Enterprise
Taken from UCL's Medical Innovation and Enterprise BSc course page (a saved copy that UCL labels as possibly not showing recent changes) and read on 31 October 2026. For a normal 2028-entry application, made in 2027, every requirement below is last verified for the previous cycle and may change; UCL's 2028-entry requirements and dates are awaiting publication.
AAA with Biology and a second science
The A-level requirement is AAA, with Biology and either Chemistry, Mathematics or Physics.
IB 18 points with Biology at 6
18 points in three higher level subjects including 6 in Biology and either Mathematics, Physics or Chemistry.
Medical science plus enterprise
UCL says students learn business management and tech innovation skills alongside nanomedicine, stem cell therapy and regenerative medicine.
Not a clinical qualification
The degree trains innovators; it is separate from UCL's Medicine degree.

Read on 31 October 2026 on UCL's Medical Innovation and Enterprise BSc course page (a saved copy that UCL labels as possibly not showing recent changes), which describes 2027 entry. UCL's department pages, the fees pages, the contextual-offer details and the 2028-entry values were not read, and the page lists no admissions test or interview so none is stated and are not stated.
The course
Science and the skills to commercialise it
UCL says students develop medical science expertise in rapidly developing fields such as nanomedicine, stem cell therapy and regenerative medicine, and learn the business management and tech innovation skills needed to turn science into healthcare technologies.
Is it the right degree?
Medical Innovation and Enterprise against its neighbours
UCL and Imperial both teach enterprise-flavoured health degrees.
Choose Medical Innovation and Enterprise if
you want a medical science degree with a business and innovation strand.
Choose Medicine if
you want to qualify as a doctor. Avandy's UCL Medicine guide covers that route.
Compare Imperial Biomedical Technology Ventures if
you want enterprise with engineering. Avandy's guide to it covers that degree.
Entry rules
Biology plus a second science
A-level applicants need AAA with Biology and either Chemistry, Mathematics or Physics, and at least two A-levels from UCL's list of preferred subjects. IB applicants need 18 points in three higher level subjects including a 6 in Biology and a second science. UCL's page lists no admissions test or interview. This page states no scores.
A decision framework
Three questions before you commit
This is Avandy's own framework, not UCL's.
Is enterprise a goal?
Business and innovation skills are part of the degree's identity.
Do you want a clinical qualification?
This degree does not provide one.
Is your Biology strong?
It is required at A level and Higher Level.
Planning for 2028 entry
Planning for 2028 entry: what carries over and what is awaiting publication
Applying for 2028 entry means applying in 2027, under rules UCL has not yet published for that cycle. Each item below carries one of two labels. Last verified for 2027 entry means UCL published it for the previous cycle and it may change. Awaiting publication for 2028 entry means UCL has not yet published it.
