Behavioural Economics
This module gives an overview of the concepts, models, and findings in behavioural economics. Behavioural economics is a field of economics that imports relevant insights from neighbouring disciplines, like psychology and anthropology, to inform economic theory and policy. Many of these insights have been generated through lab and field experiments about the drivers of economic behaviour, and they have revealed systematic patterns of individual and group behaviour. These systematic patterns are relevant for economic behaviour in several domains (e.g. consumption, savings, risk behaviour), and this module studies them in depth. It also exposes students to modifications of economic theory that capture these patterns, and to various behavioural phenomena such as self-control problems and cognitive bias, both in theory and in practice. It equips students with the theoretical toolset to analyse and understand economic choices in the presence of behavioural biases, as well as the analytical tools to make normative and policy analysis in the presence of behavioural phenomena. The module also emphasises the consequences of departures from classical microeconomic theory for prediction of economic choices and market outcomes and policy implications. -

Behavioural Finance
Behavioural finance (BF) is an unorthodox area of finance that assumes financial markets are fundamentally inefficient. Advocates of BF believe that investor behaviour and decision making are driven by aspects of personal and market psychology. This module will involve an introduction to BF followed by a detailed analysis of the main issues. -
MANG6239 2025-26
Behavioural Finance
Mainstream finance assumes that people are rational and is mainly concerned with how they should behave when making financial decisions. In this module, instead, we focus on how individuals make financial decisions in practice, and we use insights from psychology and behavioural economics to explain why they systematically deviate from normative financial theory and make predictable errors. The cognitive, emotional, and social biases that influence people’s decisions bear important implications for individual investors, financial managers, and the dynamics of financial markets.
The module builds on results from a wide spectrum of disciplines outside of finance (such as psychology, medicine, and sociology) and includes practical examples, simple in-class experiments, and discussions of academic studies. -

PSYC1017 2025-26
Behavioural Neuroscience
The module aims to develop the themes introduced in the Introduction to Psychology Module in semester 1. The module integrates the approaches and findings of biological psychology in an attempt to understand the biological factors that explain why people behave as they do. The module will examine how innate biological mechanisms control our desires. For example how is hunger and satiation controlled within the body. We then apply those principles to understand how the system might break down and might lead to conditions such as Obesity
The module is one of the pre-requisites for PSYC2025 and PSYC3048. -
