Our Behavioural Economics MSc combines the study of advanced economics topics together with a focus on the human and social issues influencing the decisions made by consumers, borrowers and investors. It combines insights from economics and psychology to understand how people make decisions. This course is informed by the world-leading research of the Centre for Decision Research and Experimental Economics (CeDEx). Behavioural science research is increasingly used by public and private sector organisations to improve organisational performance and enhance human and environmental welfare. You will learn about the experimental methods used by our researchers and have the opportunity to design and conduct a pilot experiment. In the second semester of your programme you will tailored to your career aspirations and interests, including ''Experimental Methods in Economics'' and ''Behavioural Economic Theory''. You will also focus in depth on behavioural economics when you work on your dissertation, for which we offer one-to-one supervision from a member of the CeDEx research group. With an advanced economics degree from the University of Nottingham, you will graduate with all the knowledge, practical skills and confidence you need to stand out to employers and progress as a professional economist or academic researcher. Our graduates have successfully secured positions at top organisations such as Barclays, Bloomberg, Deloitte, Economist Intelligence Unit, Goldman Sachs, IBM, PwC, and Thomson Reuters.
