While you will be making strong connections with your classmates and gaining a solid academic understanding of business, the extracurricular business clubs and societies are not to be missed. Our student business clubs are a valuable addition to your student and academic experience that offer incredible opportunities for you to develop your employability skills, expand your professional network, and boost your career prospects.
Our club is an invaluable platform for professional development and teamwork. It has helped me refine my skills in business analytics by presenting real-world problems to tackle, and opportunities to apply theoretical knowledge. Through our industry events and networking events, we established relationships with professionals in the field, giving attendees a look into various career paths in analytics.

What are business clubs?
We have 16 business clubs at Bayes, which are student-led organisations, connecting individuals who share an interest in specific industry fields. These clubs offer you a platform to acquire valuable experience, discuss industry trends, and expand your knowledge. Furthermore, they provide you with the chance to connect with various experts, alumni, and companies, through student-run events and gaining access to the network.
There are also great leadership opportunities - these clubs are run by passionate students like you, who are appointed as presidents and committee members for each club.
Being the President of the Bayes Marketing & Strategy Society was an incredible experience. My absolute favourite part was bringing together a group of passionate individuals who shared a common interest in marketing and strategy. Seeing our members grow and thrive as they explored different aspects of marketing and strategy was incredibly rewarding.
