One of three specialist Masters in Economics programmes at Durham, the MSc in Behavioural Economics decodes how people actually make choices - and why those choices often depart from purely rational models. As one of the fastest-growing fields, Behavioural Economics offers powerful tools to shape business strategies and public policy. The programme features a unique combination of modules at the crossroads of Economics and Psychology for providing an interdisciplinary perspective on human behaviour. Classroom experiments and training in experimental methods further build your ability to investigate how people make economic decisions in practice.
The programme is delivered by the Department of Economics, renowned internationally for its research and teaching excellence and is one of four departments at Durham University Business School. The Business School is one of an elite group of institutions accredited by all three major business education accrediting bodies: the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB), the Association of MBAs (AMBA), and the European Quality Improvement System (EQUIS).
For Masters in Economics programmes, you will need:
• The equivalent of a UK upper second-class single or joint honours degree in Economics, Finance, Mathematics, Statistics, Physics, Computer Science or Engineering.
• If your degree is in another subject, you will also require good grades in two Mathematics/ Statistics/Econometrics modules.
• Applicants with relevant Economics-related work experience may be considered even if they narrowly miss the academic requirements.
