Over the past decade, techniques in behavioural economics have been applied by a large number of both private and public sector organisations. These include the Bank of England, Coca Cola, the Financial Conduct Authority, Google, HMRC, Hyundai, HSBC, Oxfam, VISA and the NHS, while concepts from behavioural economics are widely used in areas such as marketing, organ donor framing, incentives to save, incentives to spend, behavioural health economics, etc. There does not seem to be an aspect of life in which applications from behavioural economics are not relevant.
This brand new MSc course, in both full time and part time options, is the first of its type in Europe and offers a focus on both the theoretical aspects and practical applications of behavioural economics.
