My master's helped me get a new role

"As part of the Consulting Project, Bayes gave us a three month engagement with a private charitable fund, called Lund Trust. Although the client was provided by Bayes, it was up to us to define the project timeline and scope, understand the client’s challenges, and conduct the analyses in such a way as to address these challenges. It was an exciting sustainability project.

Within three months, we defined a framework for sustainable investment to help Lund Trust select the cities within the UK to invest in for urban greening. Specifically, urban greening includes activities like planting trees and creating parks to improve the environmental and social characteristics of cities.

It was highly rewarding to work with Lund Trust to make a real-life impact. This project also became a key factor that helped me get my first job in management consulting, because it differentiated me in the interview process. Having that practical experience really was invaluable."

Secured a job before my graduation

"Prior to studying MSc Actuarial Management, I worked for 3 years with PwC as a Senior Associate within their Risk Modelling Services. I predominantly worked on non-life insurance projects. The MSc in Actuarial Management was very relevant to the actuarial skills used in the industry and offered hands on experience.

Other than the subjects which provide exemption from IFoA examination, several other elective modules helped in my technical development. I particularly liked the business analytics module I took in term 3 which was very challenging and provided the breadth needed for an actuary looking to divulge in new exciting areas.

Bayes careers support helped me land two job offers

“The career centre at Bayes was key in my job search journey. After completing my course, the Professional Development Team provided crucial support. They helped me rebuild my CV, prepare for interviews, and offered consistent assistance through both virtual and in-person meetings.

Additionally, they identified job opportunities that matched my background and connected me with relevant professionals. Their guidance led me to apply for a business manager position circulated by a Bayes professor, which resulted in a job offer from a shipping finance advisory firm. I also received an offer from a Korean bank, and the team’s support enabled me to make a well-informed decision. After five months, I can confidently say my role as Business Associate aligns perfectly with my experience and career goals.

The personalised support from the Careers Team has been invaluable, and I am thankful for the direction it has given my career.”

Real-world learning

"I chose Bayes because of its strong reputation for academic excellence, consistently ranked among the top business schools in Europe. The school is surrounded by major financial institutions, and they offered so many opportunities to meet with industry experts and gain real-world experience. I was also impressed by the programme's wide range of modules which aligned with my interests. Additionally, the school organises various events and activities, including seminars and workshops with industry experts, providing great opportunities for networking.

Many of our lecturers were former professionals, who emphasised the real-life practical application of theoretical knowledge. The master’s really helped me identify some of the critical gaps in my home country. It helped me know better what I wanted to do and the impact that I wanted to make back home."
