MSc Behavioural Science
Stirling University is offering a new one-year Masters course in Behavioural Science for Management from 2013/14. This exciting new course teaches the core theory and methods of behavioural science and behavioural economics and how these can be applied to important business and policy-relevant issues. Here is a list of the specific modules being taught in the 2013/14 class.
This MSc is aimed at students with a very strong intrinsic motivation to study the link between economics, psychology, business and policy. The MSc is taught by dedicated staff from the Behavioural Science Centre who have extensive experience in integrating insights from economics and psychology to address key societal challenges. Additionally, there are regular opportunities for students to attend conferences and internal seminars on a wide variety of topics.
This Masters program offers students the opportunity to gain advanced training in behavioural theory, to learn a comprehensive suite of behavioural methods, and to understand how this ‘toolkit’ can be applied to understand and inform the decisions made by stakeholders, workers and consumers.
If you are interested in the course and would like to know more, please contact the course coordinator Dr. Michael Dalyat his email. You can see testimonials about the course from former students here and here.
