The Master's Program in Behavioral Economics offers a two-year interdisciplinary curriculum combining economics, psychology, behavioral science, and quantitative research methods.
The program is designed as a progressive learning journey. Students begin by developing a solid understanding of behavioral economics and the psychological foundations of decision-making. They then acquire the methodological and statistical tools needed to study behavior rigorously, before moving toward specialized applications, experimental approaches, policy evaluation, and independent research.
The program comprises 120 ECTS credits over four semesters and is taught entirely in English.
The first year introduces the theoretical and methodological foundations of behavioral economics. Students examine how economic thinking about human behavior has developed, explore the cognitive and social processes underlying decision-making, and begin building a rigorous toolkit for behavioral research.
The second year moves from foundations toward advanced analysis and application. Students investigate behavioral phenomena in finance, organizations, experiments, and public policy while strengthening their quantitative research skills. The final semester integrates these competencies through impact evaluation and independent dissertation research.
