COURSE CURRICULUM

The MSc Behaviour Change curriculum combines core theoretical foundations with practical research skills and interdisciplinary perspectives. Core modules introduce students to the dynamics of behaviour change within shifting environmental, social and political contexts, while dedicated training in qualitative and quantitative data collection and analysis equips them to conduct rigorous research. The program also explores psychological principles underpinning behavioural interventions and encourages cross-disciplinary thinking through a module focused on transdisciplinary dialogue. A substantial dissertation allows students to apply their learning to an independent research project within the behaviour change field. In addition to the core elements, students can tailor their studies through a wide range of optional modules. These options span areas such as global marketing, supply chain management, project management, people and organisations, and the international business environment, allowing learners to deepen their understanding of behavioural issues in professional and global contexts. Modules in international and indigenous politics provide opportunities to consider behaviour change through political and cultural lenses, while implementation science supports the development of practical skills for applying behavioural insights effectively. Overall, the module structure offers a balanced blend of psychology, research training, interdisciplinary engagement and sector-specific knowledge, preparing students for diverse roles where understanding and influencing behaviour are essential.
