Bayes Business School is a well-known University with a high reputation in the Energy and Shipping industry, being recognised by the top employers across the world. Bayes Business School is one of the few schools across the country that provides an MSc specialising in the Energy sector.

My time at Bayes Business School was fulfilling. I have obtained significant knowledge from the best academics in the industry, and I was given the opportunity to participate to various networking events which was a stepping stone to the next chapter of my career.
The course was structured to a great extent, the coursework we had to complete across the different modules and especially the Business plan was a great blend of the theories applied to practise.

My master’s has played a significant role for this career step, during my time at Bayes Business School I was involved in a business plan related to renewable energy and more specifically batteries. Therefore, I was ready to apply the knowledge I acquired to my job.
