Behaviour Change MSc

On our Behaviour Change MSc, you'll get to the heart of behavioural science and its relevance not just in psychology, but across a range of disciplines including philosophy, politics, sociology and computer science. You'll then apply the knowledge you've learnt to a real-world problem, putting theory into practice and boosting your employability with relevant experience. Study on an interdisciplinary course that focuses on behaviour change and its relevance across a range of fields, including psychology, sociology, business studies and computer science. Learn from experts across our three faculties and in our research and innovation institutes to gain a well-rounded understanding of behaviour change science and practice in real-world settings. Equip yourself with the tools to apply behavioural science to address global challenges such as sustainability, climate action, digital innovation, health and social justice through the lens of human behaviour. Access our state-of-the-art facilities, which include a six-room virtual reality suite and two observation laboratories, and use the latest equipment to conduct experiments. We’re preparing you for the future by integrating AI into every course, building digital skills, confidence and creativity that employers value in tomorrow’s workplace. You’ll study a series of modules outlining and applying diverse perspectives on why people behave in the way that they do, and offering theory- and evidence-based solutions for supporting people to change their behaviours in a way that benefits them and broader society. You will study topics that cover multiple perspectives and frameworks within the behavioural sciences, including social and health psychology, philosophy, politics, business and marketing, sociology, and computer science.
