"Bayes opened doors to premier career opportunities in top firms."

Bayes equipped me with essential technical tools to address problems and, crucially, the analytical perspective to pinpoint the right problems, approaching them comprehensively from all angles. Additionally, Bayes provided me with the opportunity to leverage the institute’s industry network and opened doors to premier career opportunities in top firms."

Gaining real-world insight from major shipping companies

"I appreciated the opportunity to spend a week in Athens at Almi Tankers, where we got to see how they operate and understand more about their business. It really helped to ‘connect the dots’ of what we had learned on the course. Another great thing about the course is that major companies, like Maersk, come in to give presentations. It gives you an opportunity to talk and start to build a relationship. That makes it easier when you are applying for jobs because you can mention you’ve already been interacting with their employees and know about their company. Several people on my course secured their jobs in this way.

My time at Bayes prepared me well for my roles – I was an Analyst for the Bayes Shipping Society, generating weekly reports on Gas and LPG and freight rates. That teamwork element and knowledge have really helped me in my career. I joined as an Analyst in Clean Petroleum Products at Steem 1960 shipbrokers, but after less than a year I’ve been promoted to Head of Gas, with responsibility for analysing gas research worldwide. It’s definitely been a good investment."

A strong return on investment

"I currently work for ENI trade & biofuels and there is no way I would have been able to my current job without what I learned from my masters. I work as a market risk analyst and my day to day job require me to do a lot of what we did during the oil and energy trading course and I still find myself pulling up my notes from the class if there is anything I want to freshen up on before talking to my colleagues.

There are several Bayes alumni working here at ENI which has made making friends an easy task as we can all bond over late nights studying for the challenging courses we all took at Bayes.

I was able to land my current job due to the career team and their great relations with former Bayes students. It was a former student who works here at ENI who forwarded the position to Bayes, which is how I ended up finding it and then with the help of the careers team I applied and got the position."

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."
