Undergraduate Preparatory Certificates

UCL Undergraduate Preparatory Certificates (UPCs) are intensive one-year foundation courses for international students of high academic potential who are aiming to gain access to undergraduate degree programmes at UCL and other top UK universities.

Typical UPC students will be high achievers in a 12-year school system which does not meet the standard required for direct entry to UCL.

• UCL's Management Science BSc programme is unlike any other degree in the UK. It provides exceptional individuals with a high performance, high trust environment that develops both deep technological skills and advanced social and emotional skills.    

• The UCL School of Management is a different kind of business school. It is focused on technology, innovation, entrepreneurship and analytics, and how they are changing management practice in the world’s best organisations.    

• The Management Science BSc includes 12 intense Scenario Weeks during which you will work in teams to address complex interdisciplinary management problems.    

• The Management Science BSc enables you to develop strong quantitative and analytical skills, an in-depth understanding of how companies work, and a rigorous foundation in the key skills needed to build successful careers with global businesses tackling world-scale problems.

In each year of your degree you will take a number of individual modules, normally valued at 15 or 30 credits, adding up to a total of 120 credits for the year. Modules are assessed in the academic year in which they are taken. The balance of compulsory and optional modules varies from programme to programme and year to year. A 30-credit module is considered equivalent to 15 credits in the European Credit Transfer System (ECTS).

Core modules in mathematics, critical analytical thinking, data analytics, design, economics, computational thinking and behavioural science provide a solid grounding in the concepts and tools underpinning the practice of management in complex, innovation-intensive, data-driven environments.

In addition, modules including strategy, marketing science, finance, operations management, and decision science provide an in-depth understanding of how companies work and build the insight and skills needed to deliver results through people.

During the programme you will take part in twelve Scenario Weeks designed to develop your problem solving and consulting skills. During a Scenario Week you are given a real interdisciplinary management problem that you work on in teams. Your objective is to develop a practical solution using whatever knowledge and tools you need. The Scenario Weeks will be challenging. But so is business.

You will benefit from being part of UCL Engineering and take an Engineering Sciences minor in years two and three.

Upon successful completion of 360 credits, you will be awarded a BSc (Hons) in Management Science.
