The MSc Behavioural Science programme is a world leading master’s degree which teaches you how to use behavioural science to change human behaviour in corporate and public environments.
The skill to understand, predict, and change human behaviour is essential for your professional success. Organisations in the private and public sector have turned to behavioural science insights to increase the effectiveness of their practices. This has led to an increase in demand for people with these skills, formally in behavioural insights and people analytics teams, and less formally in leadership, change management and human resources roles. By pursuing this degree, you will acquire cutting edge scientific insights about human behaviour, and learn how to change human behaviour by altering the “context” in which people act rather than how they think. You will also gain expertise in state-of-the-art methodological and statistical approaches that are necessary to evaluate the effectiveness of behavioural change.
