Summary
- Human behaviours underpin every big and small decision we make. Understanding our behaviours and biases is therefore vital if you want to make an impact on the world around us.
- Our unique MSc Economics: Behavioural Insights equips you with knowledge and skills to holistically tackle real world problems using behavioural economics and empirical methods.
- Combining both rational economic thinking and behavioural insights, you will learn how to optimally design policies, products, solutions, and interventions for a world prone to human biases.
- Our very large and diverse team of researchers have previously worked with government, industry, major international organisations, as well as behavioural insight teams around the world.
- You will have the unique opportunity to develop and propose behavioural economic solutions for real world organisations and receive guidance from expert researchers and practitioners.

| Level | RQF Level 7 |
|---|---|
| Entry requirements | Minimum of a 2:1 degree with honours from a recognised university in a quantitative discipline (e.g. economics, mathematics, statistics, physical sciences, engineering, computer science, finance). We also consider strong students from disciplines that have quantitative components (e.g. a quantitative social science, psychology, geography, life sciences, accounting, management) as well as medicine intercalators. Evidence of quantitative ability is required. We do consider all applications where there is evidence of exceptional performance in modules relevant to the programme of study, significant relevant work experience or professional qualifications. Prerequisites Note: A Level mathematics (or equivalent) may be acceptable as a minimum requirement, but if admitted, you will be encouraged to undertake some additional self-guided study prior to the start of the programme. For full details, including English language requirements and international equivalencies, please visit our course page. |
