Study Details: MSc 1 year full-time
Explore the intersection between psychology and economics. You’ll gain a well-rounded understanding of human decision-making and learn how to predict it.
This master’s course enables you to delve into the intersection between the disciplines of psychology and economics, providing you with the opportunity to develop a cross-disciplinary perspective of human decision-making.
By combining economic modelling with what psychology can tell us about individuals’ behaviour and emotions, you’ll learn how to create highly accurate tools or models for predicting human behaviour. These models can be used in a range of contexts to empower behaviour change at both a micro and macro level.
Upon completion of the course, you’ll be better prepared to work in any area where understanding human decision-making is important.
This course is highly relevant if you have a background in economics or psychology; or come from a background where modelling or understanding human behaviour is a key component, such as engineering or sociology.
You should have a bachelor’s honours degree or international equivalent, typically a 2:1 or above.
To apply for this course you should have an undergraduate degree in an appropriate subject such as psychology or economics, another social science or business-related discipline (business administration, finance, accounting, international trade, banking, financial management, public finance, politics) or another subject which included a significant economics or modelling component (physics or engineering).
