Other requirements

General requirements

2:1 undergraduate degree (or equivalent) in a related subject.
The MSc Behavioural and Economic Science is a quantitative degree and you should feel comfortable taking a mathematical approach to your thinking.
On the MSc we cover the use of statistics to make sense of behavioural data (e.g. regression and ANOVAs). We introduce the R programming language for statistics and mathematical modelling (though we do not assume you have previous experience). We use maths in economic and psychological models.
You should be familiar with some of: elementary calculus, basic geometry, a really basic knowledge of sets, functions like logarithms, exponentials, powers, probability and probability distributions. You do not need to know all of these things, but you should not be frightened about learning about them! Such a quantitative approach is a really great way to understand data from field studies and experiments, and big data sets and surveys.
