MSc Behaviour Change (Incorporating PG Dip/PG Cert)

The first Master’s course of its kind, our MSc Behaviour Change programme opens doors to a wide range of fulfilling careers which focus on changing people’s behaviour and helping them to make positive choices.

• Develop an in-depth understanding of human behaviour and behaviour change
• Increase your confidence, skills and abilities to foster behaviour change in the context of a range of areas, such as wellbeing, safety or the natural environment
• Specialise by selecting behaviours as part of the assessment process that align with the areas in which you wish to develop your expertise
• Devise practical ways to promote behaviour change, underpinned by theory and evidence-based science
• Learn from an enthusiastic and experienced team of research-active psychologists and ergonomists
• Take a flexible route to a masters degree: you only need to visit the campus for an induction event and then for nine days each year
• Progress your career in a vast aray of areas, such as the health and wellbeing sectors, environmental sustainability, animal welfare, local government and occupational health and safety – or take your learning to PhD level.

This is an original and topical course which challenges assumptions about behaviour change. It is aimed at professionals who want to gain new knowledge and skills to support their work, and at graduates from a broad range of disciplines who would like to specialise in behaviour change and add social science to their skill set.
