Investigate the complex nuances in economic decision making and actions. Our MSc Behavioural and Experimental Economics gives you all the tools to understand what has become one of the fastest growing areas in economics in recent years.

Though available as both a January and October start, part-time study is only available as part of the October start variant.

How do we make decisions about markets, businesses and customers? What’s the science behind these decisions? How does an understanding of human behaviour make better policies? What’s the impact of sales practices on customers? How do behavioural biases in customers impact how much they’ll pay for a product or service?

Behavioural economics is one of the fastest growing areas in economics in recent years. Insights inform business and public policy alike – we investigate the human and social factors influencing decisions made by consumers, borrowers and investors.
