Course content
Our MSc Behaviour Change was the first masters course of its kind. The course will provide you with psychological theories and models so that you can develop a greater understanding of human behaviour and behaviour change.
The nine-day on campus attendance per year fits well with a typical ten-day industry allocation for staff development, so if you’re self-funding it allows you to continue to work full-time. If you’re a professional wishing to underpin your work with theory and evidence-based, practical ways forward, or a graduate wishing to specialise in behaviour change or add social science to your skill set, this course is for you.
- Increase your confidence in your skills and abilities to create an environment that fosters behaviour change in relation to wellbeing, safety or the natural environment.
- Develop the knowledge and transferable skills required to critically evaluate and design interventions that provide opportunities for people to adopt change in a variety of settings.
- Learn alongside an excellent teaching team of research-active psychologists and ergonomists who specialise in areas such as language and communication, risk management and musculoskeletal disorders.
