With companies that implement behavioural insights principles outperforming their peers by 85% in sales growth and more than 25% in gross margin (Gallup Consulting), it’s no surprise that businesses are increasingly turning to behavioural economics in what has been dubbed the ‘Behavioural Revolution’ (Ernst & Young).Your studies will be interwoven with the Tasmanian Behavioural Lab, providing you with a learning environment that delivers job-ready skills, leaving you prepared to uncover the behavioural factors underlying contemporary social, business, and economic issues, and to construct behavioural solutions to address them. You’ll convert your theory-based knowledge into practical skills from authentic applied teaching, with real-world examples and experiences equipping you with the capability to design, test, and evaluate behavioural interventions for evidence-based policy and strategy.
