One of three specialist Masters in Economics programmes at Durham, the MSc in Behavioural Economics decodes how people actually make choices - and why those choices often depart from purely rational models. As one of the fastest-growing fields, Behavioural Economics offers powerful tools to shape business strategies and public policy. The programme features a unique combination of modules at the crossroads of Economics and Psychology for providing an interdisciplinary perspective on human behaviour. Classroom experiments and training in experimental methods further build your ability to investigate how people make economic decisions in practice.The programme is delivered by the Department of Economics, renowned internationally for its research and teaching excellence and is one of four departments at Durham University Business School. The Business School is one of an elite group of institutions accredited by all three major business education accrediting bodies: the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB), the Association of MBAs (AMBA), and the European Quality Improvement System (EQUIS).
