2. Online Career Accelerator module
From the moment you join us as a MSc student, you will receive access to the online Career Accelerator module, an online programme designed that explores all aspects of employability and navigating your job search. You will receive access to this over the Summer, so you can begin to explore career resources, industry insights and useful guidance before you even start your Bayes master’s degree.

3. Events with industry experts
Attending events is an important way to gain insights from industry leaders and expand your professional network. At Bayes Business School, there is always an event happening whether it is specific to your degree, hosted by the Postgraduate Careers Team or the School as a whole.
We host regular events featuring guest speakers from top organisations, panel discussions with industry leaders. These events provide an excellent opportunity to connect with potential employers, gain valuable industry knowledge, and even secure job opportunities for after graduation.
4. Tailor your degree to your chosen career
In your final term of your master’s degree, you can tailor your master’s experience and choose elective modules that align with your desired career ambitions. Our electives are practical, linked with business and will provide you with the experience and knowledge you need, providing the foundations for your new career.
You will also have the opportunity to take an international elective, which is an elective taught abroad in a relevant country and place to the topic. This gives your studies a global dimension and prepares you for a business career with an international perspective.
These elective modules are a fantastic way to increase your employability, deepening your knowledge of a specialist field within your subject area.
