Our Masters in Behavioural Science is a unique programme run by the Adam Smith Business School and the School of Psychology & Neuroscience. We aim to shape tomorrow’s behavioural scientists through an interdisciplinary programme that combines expertise that includes: Economics, Business, Finance, Psychology and Neuroscience. You will benefit from new methods, new laboratory facilities and industrial partnerships.
We consider applications from students with a wide range of backgrounds who can demonstrate their potential to succeed in the programme.
Science track
2.1 Hons (or non-UK equivalent) in Psychology, Neuroscience, Sociology, Engineering, Mathematics, Statistics or any subject with a scientific background.
Business track
2.1 Hons (or non-UK equivalent) in Economics, Business, Finance, Management, Marketing, Engineering, Mathematics or Statistics. Applicants who do not have an Economics degree must have successfully completed at least 1 credit-bearing module in Introductory Probability and Statistics or Econometrics at an average grade of pass or non-UK equivalent.
The programme will shape a new generation of highly adaptable behavioural scientists with a range of knowledge and skills (tested on a broad interdisciplinary spectrum of problems and processes). It will provide graduates with an exceptional learning experience and outstanding career prospects in multiple sectors.
The science track provides students with strong neuro-scientific skills, expertise and horizons, developed in the context of an interdisciplinary-driven research agenda in Behavioural Science. It is appropriate for those who would like to complement or expand scientific knowledge about human behaviour and strengthen their interests in decision-making from different research fields (i.e., Psychology, Economics, Finance, Management, and Business). This track would lay the foundations for a PhD, or a research position within the private or public sector.
The business track will prepare students from different backgrounds for working in or conducting research in/about different sectors across the current market system. It will provide them with the most up-to-date and relevant knowledge and competencies in the realm of decision science for their independent front-loaded concrete applications (e.g., designing economic policy or developing/building business cases). The final goal is to equip students with both general and specialised knowledge to respond to industry/market research questions and requirements in the field of behavioural science. This track will allow direct careers in both public policy settings and private business after graduation.
