Course summary

Our Masters in Behavioural Science is a unique programme run by the Adam Smith Business School and the School of Psychology & Neuroscience. We aim to shape tomorrow’s behavioural scientists through an interdisciplinary programme that combines expertise that includes: Economics, Business, Finance, Psychology and Neuroscience. You will benefit from new methods, new laboratory facilities and industrial partnerships. WHY THIS PROGRAMME

• A competitive programme on the study of decision-making, blending methods and research from multiple domains (Economics, Management, Finance, Psychology and Neuroscience).

• We offer two tracks (business and science) which will have a joint foundation path. This will allow consistency across the tracks as well as a tailored and diversified acquisition of skills according to the track chosen as a specialisation.

• Theoretical knowledge will be paired with quantitative methods, empirical designs, qualitative applications and market-driven research questions.

• You will have access to our new behavioural laboratory. This facility will allow you to conduct ecologically valid controlled behavioural experiments (including for your dissertation) with dedicated resources and staff.

• Industry projects* give you an opportunity to implement the skills developed during the taught courses and to apply problem-solving skills to specific real-world tasks. Working with practitioners enables you to implement their cutting-edge insights in behavioural science, and to test your abilities in experimental design and data analysis in a specialised, real-world environment.

• Students on the business track must complete at least 60 credits of courses offered by the Adam Smith Business School (course codes beginning with ACCFIN, BUS, ECON, MGT).

• Students on the science track must complete at least 60 credits of courses offered by the School of Psychology & Neuroscience (course codes beginning with PSYCH).
