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.
