Behavioural Economics applies psychological insights to human behaviour to investigate how people make economic decisions under various conditions of constraint (e.g., time and knowledge) and influence (e.g., social pressure). This is an important field in modern economics and the social sciences more generally.
Commercial organisations have long known the limitations of individual decision-making and they routinely use this knowledge in their commercial practices (e.g., the anchoring effect of minimum payment on credit cards). The real-world implications of behavioural economics are varied and significant and acknowledged to provide a powerful and cost-effective approach to improving human welfare.
The course is taught by psychologists and economists offering students a good foundation in both disciplines.
Behavioural economists use data to better understand human behaviour. These highly valuable skills can be applied in a range of professions, for example to formulate policies or to analyse consumer behaviour. There is increasing demand for behavioural economists across different sectors, including financial trading and risk assessment, consumer psychology and marketing, consulting and public policy. The research focus of the course also allows graduates to proceed to PhD level research in economics or psychology.

Choosing a postgraduate course at City St George’s is a great next step towards a rewarding career.
Applications for the majority of postgraduate courses need to be made directly to City St George’s. To apply, visit the webpage of the intended course of study and click on the ʻHow to apply’ tab to read more about the application process, including any supporting documentation required and to access the online application system.
With a few exceptions, postgraduate courses do not have a fixed application deadline and operate on a rolling admission basis. Applications will close when the course is full, so students are encouraged to apply as early as possible. Where a deadline is in place, further information can be found on the specific course webpage.
Entry requirements vary for each course and are listed on the individual course webpages.
Applicants for postgraduate study should normally hold a university honours degree in a relevant subject. However, if students do not hold an honours degree (or an equivalent qualification) but have suitable experience or professional qualifications, they may still be accepted for a master’s course or a Postgraduate Diploma at the discretion of the relevant School.
Students who are in the final year of their undergraduate studies or are yet to receive their English Language test results can still apply for most postgraduate courses at City St George’s. Their applications will be assessed based on predicted grades and, if all other entry criteria are met, they might receive a conditional offer that is subject to them satisfying the specified requirements.
Pre-master’s courses provide a route to several of City St George’s courses for international students that do not qualify for direct entry. Students can take a City St George’svalidated course with City St George’s, University of London International Study Centre or study with City St George’s partner, Kaplan. Courses at both providers guarantee progression to City St George’s for students that meet the required grades.
Tuition fees vary by course and further information can be found on the website. Remember that tuition fees do not include the cost of accommodation, so students will need to budget for this along with flights, food, travel, books and personal items. Where necessary, our temping agency,
Unitemps, can help students find suitable work.
Some courses may require a tuition fee deposit following an offer of admission to confirm applicant’s place on the course.
Students are responsible for obtaining necessary visas and entry clearance into the UK and are advised to prepare in advance by researching the requirements for students from their home country. Information about applying for, and extending, visas to study is available on City St George’s website.
If students have an existing Student visa that was issued for study at another university, college or school in the UK, they will need to complete a new Student visa application with the UK Home Office using a Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies (CAS) from City St George’s before they will be allowed to register.
A team of dedicated International Student Advisers can help with the visa application process.
As City St George’s courses are delivered in English, students whose first language is not English will need to demonstrate their English ability is sufficient to undertake degree-level study. English language requirements vary by course and are likely to be higher than the minimum English language requirements set by the Home Office for students requiring a visa. City St George's, University of London International Study Centre runs pre-sessional English courses during the summer to help students improve their English before their courses start. Bayes Business School postgraduate students are only eligible for Pre-sessional English if referred by the MSc Admissions team.

Parking in central London is limited and can be costly. There is metered parking available on the roads surrounding the Clerkenwell campus and there are public car parks near the Moorgate campus. Please also note that almost all of City St George’s Clerkenwell and Moorgate sites are within the congestion charging zone and drivers are liable to pay a daily charge.
For the Tooting campus, there is a limited number of pay-and-display parking in the area, we advise using public transport where possible.
The Transport for London website provides up-to-date information on public transport: www.tfl.gov.uk
