Overview

The Behavioural Economics course at City St George's, University of London is also an ideal pathway to a PhD in Economics or Psychology.

There are many practical implications of insights from behavioural economics and the field is widely accepted to deliver a powerful, cost-effective approach to improving human welfare.

Commercial organisations have long known the limitations of individual decision making and routinely use this knowledge in their commercial practices.
