Apply to BSA

BSA is UCL’s only student-led 10‑week startup launchpad. We're looking to create a tight-knit community of UCL's most ambitious and high agency students, striving to solve the world's most pressing problems. Through our weekly workshops, socials. speaker events, and 1-to-1 mentorship, BSA provides you with the intensive, supportive environment you need to go all-in on your startup idea.

If you need anymore clarification on what BSA is and the level of support we provide, check out our Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bsa.ucle/

We’ve tried to make the form as easy to fill in, and as easy for you to convey your passion for the problem you want to solve.

It’s completely okay if you don't have a concrete solution - all we’re looking for is your passion in a problem space you think is worth exploring.

If you are applying as a team, please nominate one person to apply on behalf of everyone. Nominated person needs to be from UCL but rest of your team can be from any other university.

If successful, the second/final stage will be an interview where the BSA director will stress test you and your startup idea.
