London life

With over 30 nationalities represented on our Full-time MBA programme it is an exciting time to move to a new diverse, bustling city like London.

Getting around

All Bayes locations are in central London at the gateway to one of the world's most dynamic financial and commercial centres. Our location is a physical expression of a fundamental belief - that business is both a practical and theoretical discipline.

We are perfectly positioned to be the intellectual hub of the City of London, which means contributing to and benefiting from the intellectual life of The City. We've forged links with everyone from the financial and multinational giants, to innovative start-ups. They provide direct input into our programmes, as well as sponsoring and employing many of our students and alumni.
