Course summary

Key information

You will learn how people and institutions make decisions under conditions of constraint, such as time and knowledge, and under various influences such as social pressure. There are many practical implications of insights from behavioural economics and the field is widely accepted to deliver a powerful, cost-effective approach to improving human welfare.

Benefits of this course

Commercial organisations have long known the limitations of individual decision making and routinely use this knowledge in their commercial practices.

A strong postgraduate education in behavioural economics will allow you to work in a variety of roles in the private or public sector that require a solid understanding of human behaviour.

A developed understanding of behavioural economics gives you a broad, real-world perspective to inform your professional interests and future ambitions.

Our programme is also an ideal pathway to a PhD in Economics or Psychology.

Modules taught on this programme will be delivered by academics with research interests in behavioural economics.

You will take responsibility for your own learning through the available learning resources and opportunities such as specialist invited speakers, seminars and online tools.

Our learning and teaching expose you to a range of methods in each module. This covers lectures, seminars, group work, small group discussions, statistics lab sessions, and research project supervision.
