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.
Mada University for Science & Technology 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.
The programme carries 36 credits across four assessed modules. Delivery is tuition-free (0) on the online pathway. Transcripts use letter grades and a GPA scale consistent with Mada University for Science & Technology awards. No professional-body logo is used in marketing to imply endorsement.
