At Bayes Business School, we emphasise real-world experience alongside academic theory. An Industry Project offers you the opportunity to tackle genuine business challenges in partnership with leading UK and global organisations.
In Term 3 of your MSc programme, you can choose to work directly with a host organisation on a live project, applying your academic knowledge to real business problems. From financial modelling and sustainability research to digital innovation, this is your chance to make a meaningful impact. Many students describe it as an invaluable experience and highlight it as a key asset on their CV.
What to expect
- Real Business Impact: Access a real business issue, delivering practical solutions and recommendations in a 5,000-word applied research paper.
- Dual Guidance: Gain expert advice from both a Bayes academic supervisor and industry professionals.
- Career-Ready Experience: Develop insights, confidence, and career-ready experience that sets you apart in the job market.
- Employer Networks: Build networks with top employers – many students convert their projects into internships or full-time offers.
