MSc Behavioural Science for Policy & Business

Opis i cele kształcenia

Applied behavioural economics and psychology — experimental design, field trials, choice architecture and ethics — for analysts in government, charities and firms who want to test interventions rather than assume them. IU International University of Applied Sciences teaches this award to one academic standard whether you study on campus in Warsaw or on the tuition-free online pathway. Assessment is identity-checked; the marking scheme does not change with your postcode. This is an academic Master's award; where a field has a licensing or registration route, that remains a matter for your professional body or regulator. You will work through the material as a practitioner-researcher: applied methods, real or anonymised cases, and a supervised capstone or dissertation as the final component. Faculty mark whether you noticed the constraints a slide deck usually hides. MSc Behavioural Science for Policy & Business is taught as one award, not a list of unrelated modules. The published length is 18 months, and the credit total is 36. Students move from Public Policy Processes & Institutions through Public Policy Processes & Institutions; Political Economy & Development; Statistics & Data for Policy; Impact Evaluation & Causal Methods; Cost-Benefit Analysis & Public Budgeting; Qualitative Inquiry for Policy, and finish on Policy Analytics Capstone. Each course has a question, a method, and a submission. In this field, students say who decides, under which rule, and draft a note a professional could read. Reading is a statute or instrument, a case or policy paper, and a commentary. The artefact a marker expects is a memo or draft clause with sources and a revision note. The award is built so that a graduate can do the following in practice: Analyse a policy problem with the right method — evaluation, cost-benefit, political economy Read a budget and an expenditure line for what it actually funds Design an implementation plan that survives contact with a delivery unit Teaching assumes the student can read a source, attempt a problem before the seminar, and revise after feedback. Attendance at live seminars is part of the design. The capstone or final course must use the methods of the earlier courses; a project that ignores them does not pass. This course is academic. It does not admit the student to practise law and it is not a qualifying law degree. The pages for each course name the topics that are examined. Those topics are the syllabus. A brochure line is not a substitute for them.
