Graduate Certificate
The Graduate Certificate in Behavioural Economics provides a thorough understanding of the basic principles of Behavioural Economics, heuristics and biases in individual decision making and their implications in strategic interactions. Students are given the opportunity to apply Behavioural Economics concepts in different decision-making environments including financial decision making, health, education, and environment. This course introduces students to a rapidly expanding field of Behavioural Economics by providing a foundation in Standard Economic Theory and by building the Behavioural Models on this foundation. This gives students a solid understanding of Behavioural Economics by combining the Economic Theory and psychological insights. This understanding allows them to analyse a wide range of situations and behaviours in different decision-making environments.
Career options include management-level positions in industry or government.
Students must complete a total of 24 credit points made up of eight subjects (3 credit points each).
