About this course

What will I learn?

This postgraduate degree in behaviour change centres around the systematic application of behaviour change theory and methods to design, implement and evaluate interventions, primarily using the Behaviour Change Wheel. This approach equips students to work in this emerging and exciting field to address social, health and environmental challenges. This MSc programme equips you with the ability to critically appraise theories, methods and evidence for understanding behaviour and behaviour change in a range of application areas. You will be trained in the development, implementation and evaluation of behaviour change interventions and studying on this course will enable you to support the translation of behaviour change evidence into practice across disciplines and sectors. We welcome international, as well as UK/EU, applicants from all backgrounds (e.g., researchers, practitioners, policymakers and recent graduates) who are interested in learning to apply behaviour change principles to a variety of issues (e.g., environment, digital technologies, successful ageing) and sectors (e.g,. government, charities, public sector and commercial organisations).
