MSc in Behavioural Science

This MSc course is aimed at the UK and international students who are seeking access to cutting-edge behavioral science research, advanced training in quantitative methods, and instruction in the application of behavioral science principles to everyday problems faced within the public, private, and third sectors.

The MSc has been designed to provide you with an understanding of factors that impact behavior, including the role of ‘nudging’ in behavior change, and the research and analytical skills to enable an analysis of business problems from a behavioral perspective. It will provide you with a wide range of knowledge (both of a theoretical and a practical nature) and transferable skills including various professional ways of disseminating knowledge.

This course will prove valuable for those intending to enter the public, private, or third sector, including business, charities and government, local authorities and international organizations, by providing you with the tools to apply behavioral principles to problem-solving and decision-making in these domains. It will provide the behavioral insights to help individuals build confidence, influence others, think and cooperate inter-culturally, set and achieve goals, negotiate mindfully, and teamwork effectively.
