The Graduate Certificate in Behavioural Insights provides you with an in-depth understanding of how and why people think certain ways and make decisions. The program draws on theories and concepts from different fields such as behavioural economics, psychology, cognitive science, sociology and anthropology. Via practical learning you will obtain the knowledge and skills required to apply behavioural insights to uncover the human behavioural roots underlying contemporary policy challenges, and to construct behavioural solutions to address these challenges. The program also teaches you how to use appropriate empirical methods to design, test and evaluate behavioural interventions for evidence-based policy-making.
