Lead innovation at the cutting edge of healthcare with a Master’s in Biotech and Pharmaceutical Management - scholarships available

Biotechnology and pharmaceuticals are among the most dynamic and influential forces shaping the future of global healthcare. At UCL, we believe that combining scientific innovation with strong commercial and strategic leadership is essential to turning breakthrough ideas into life-changing therapies.

Delivered by the UCL Global Business School for Health - the world’s first business school dedicated to health - the Biotech and Pharmaceutical Management MSc equips you with the knowledge and skills to navigate this fast-paced, high-impact sector. The programme focuses on the business, regulatory and economic forces that underpin successful biotech and pharmaceutical ventures, preparing you to make confident, informed decisions in complex environments.

Anchored in pharmacoeconomics, you’ll explore how innovation moves from laboratory to market, balancing regulation, pricing, reimbursement and market access with commercial strategy and business development. Through real-world insights and applied learning, you’ll develop a deep understanding of how value is created for patients, healthcare systems and organisations alike.

This master’s is designed for ambitious individuals who want not only to understand the science, but to lead the business decisions that bring vital healthcare innovation to the world.

• 9th in the world (QS World University Rankings 2026).
• 4th in the World for Public Health
• 1st in the UK and 3rd in the World in the QS Sustainability Rankings 2026
