Overview

Learn from experts across University of Surrey Behaviour Change research and innovation institutes to gain a well-rounded understanding of behaviour change science and practice in real-world settings.

What you will study

You’ll study a series of modules outlining and applying diverse perspectives on why people behave in the way that they do, and offering theory- and evidence-based solutions for supporting people to change their behaviours in a way that benefits them and broader society.

You will study topics that cover multiple perspectives and frameworks within the behavioural sciences, including social and health psychology, philosophy, politics, business and marketing, sociology, and computer science.

You will apply the theories, principles and methods you learn to a range of areas, including behaviours relating to health and wellbeing, sustainability and the environment, policymaking, digital technology, and consumer behaviour.

You'll also complete a dissertation, where you'll develop and apply your behaviour change skills and knowledge by conducting a research project. You can either undertake a traditional ‘in-house’ research project or collaborate with an external organisation to conduct research to address a pressing real-world problem.
