The MSc Business (Behavioural Science) at Warwick Business School will not be running in 2014 (source http://www.wbs.ac.uk/courses/postgraduate/business-behavioural-science/)
I don't think so Ritu. I know there are some BE courses on Coursera and the like but I haven't looked into Masters levels courses online. You could have a look at Liam's lectures from this year's MSc Behavioural Science (see the widget in the top left)
Hi, I would like to know the order in which the colleges are better if possible and the scope of the subject in terms of placement. Please share the information in case you know.
No I don't John. However on the top left of the blog there is a widget called "Introduction to BE" containing summaries derived from Liam's lectures to the MSc students here so that might be a start.
Hi mark i was hoping you had any information for the Behavioral Economics course at the University of Essex.. i just got an offer and was wanted to know more before i accept.
This has been a most helpful post in my information mining.
I was wondering if there is a postgraducte diploma or certification in BE in either the UK, Uk or Australia (which is where I am based) that you are aware of?
Having already completed my MBA and working as a marketing researcher for over 9 years I am keen to dip into the science behind BE without making a long term education commitment.
Ajanta, I'm not sure if you mean an online course. If so, I don't know of any online BE courses that teach Masters level material. That seems to be a gap in the market at the moment.
I have graduated in mechanical engineering and biological sciences degrees. I have been strongly contemplating pursuing applied psychology or behavioral psychology/studies. I wanted to know how u could go about this and the best universities. Any advice?
Hi Abishek, There is a lot of variability amongst the various MSc programs listed above in terms of what their course content focuses on (e.g. Game Theory, Social Psychology, government or business applications). I think a good step would be to check the individual course webpages and try to narrow down what you are really interested in. Mark
I was wondering if it's only the courses at UCL and CUL that offer part time study? I would really like to apply for the MSc in Behavioral Science at Stirling, but would find it difficult to enrol full time as I have a full time job, so any info about part time options would be much appreciated.
I'm Brazilian and I'm not exactly aware about which Universities are the best or more accredited on this list. I just know Sorbonne and UM. Anyone can help me on choosing it?
Thanks for gathering this list. I have referred back to it numerous times as I try to understand the BE landscape abroad (live in the US). Wondering if you had a POV on programs based in Econ departments versus Psych departments versus B-schools. Would you say any are more rigorous than others? Obviously B-school is more geared to a particular application, would you say Econ or Psych is more bent towards application than the other? Particularly consumer behavior?
UCL's Cognitive and Decision Science program has piqued my interest thus far in my research, so any insight into how that particular program compares to the rest would be infinitely helpful (anyone else welcome to reply as well).
Hi Mark and guys! I found that new speciality will be open in LSE - Psychology of Economic Life. Please, anybody, do you know the real content of this program. Is it related to Behavioral Economics or it is just psychology course? Thank you in advance for your answers and help
Tilburg University in the Netherlands offers a Master in Economics in which you can specialize in Behavioral Economics which is also very interesting: https://www.tilburguniversity.edu/education/masters-programmes/economics/program/behavioral-economics/
At Tilburg University in the Netherlands they offer a Master in Economics in which you can specialize in Behavioral Economics. Could you add this one to the list?
Warwick seems unique in offering a MSc Behavioural Economics course with a Psychology track as many of the masters (Nottingham, UVA, Rotterdam) require a BSc Economics. Unfortunately, at £20k+ even for home students, the Warwick degree is too pricey!
The one at Exeter doesn't exist anymore I'm afraid! It closed in 2009.
ReplyDeleteAlso, there is:

ReplyDeleteDear Mark
ReplyDeleteThank you for posting the list!
I am considering the Master in HDS @ UM too - can you report us (me) about your experience in Maastricht?
And why are you proceeding with another master degree?
I'm looking forward to hearing from you.
Best

Hi Mark,
ReplyDeleteWanted to know if any of these University provide online course options too for foreign students.(The long term online courses- not the edX types)

Than you!
Hi Mark
ReplyDeleteCan you tell me if the fees are per semester, or for the entire degree?
Cheers
Alison
Alison - the fees refer to the whole degree.
ReplyDeleteThere is also a new MSc in Behavioral Economics at the University of Essex
ReplyDeletehttp://www.essex.ac.uk/coursefinder/course_details.aspx?course=MSC+L11912
Thanks Anon. I've added that and updated all the course fees to the latest available figures. Looks like increases all around.
ReplyDeleteHi Mark,
ReplyDeleteDo you know of any Masters courses which can be done via distance learning, for someone who is in full time employment?
John
No I don't John. However on the top left of the blog there is a widget called "Introduction to BE" containing summaries derived from Liam's lectures to the MSc students here so that might be a start.
ReplyDeleteHello Mark
ReplyDeleteThe link related to a US master is not ok. Could you check it?
Fixed now Julian, cheers.
ReplyDeleteExcellent information, thank you!
ReplyDeleteI'm considering this option. I still have to find out about how much emphasis they put on public policy, which is my area of interest now.
Thank you!

Dear Mark,

Hi Mark,
ReplyDeleteDo you know the current worldwide ranking - I can only find a REPEC ranking of cognitive and behavioural economics.
So you know of an alternative?
Thanks in advance!
There is also the MSc Social Cognition at UCL, which overlaps with the MSc Cognitive and Decision Science, but is slightly different.
ReplyDeleteThanks Vera, I've added that now.
ReplyDeleteDo yo know any program in Canada?
ReplyDeleteIs there a compiled list of US schools offering an MA or MS in Behavioral Economics? thank you.
