The MSc in Behavioural Economics is a programme offered jointly by the Department of Economics and the Department of Psychology, at the Univesrity of Cyprus

The program is aimed at students with a background in economics or psychology, but also other social, natural, or applied sciences, who wish to explore the questions at the boundaries of economics and psychology and acquire a better insight into economic behavior.

It provides students with a general grounding in behavioural and experimental approaches to social sciences, and with skills and knowledge that are essential for the economic analysis of human behaviour and the application of behavioural science to the resolution of contemporary societal challenges.

Successful graduates will acquire a solid grasp of key concepts and results in the area of behavioural sciences and develop the analytical and technical skills that are valued by organizations operating in today’s dynamic and complex environment.

They will be able to use the most recent behavioral insights to understand complex phenomena that determine an organization’s success in achieving its goals; to comprehend and design plans and policies, and to appropriately assess the associated risks and rewards; to draw up and execute studies examining the role of human behaviour in contemporary socio-economic phenomena, and to evaluate the outcomes of interventions, using cutting edge research techniques.
