Unlock the science of choice with a B.Sc. in Behavioural Economics. Gain the theoretical and practical skills to understand why people make decisions and how to shape the future of business and policy—all 100% online and self-paced.
Why do people make irrational decisions — and how can policy and business design nudge better outcomes? This engaging online B.Sc (3 years, 180 ECTS) from JLI Switzerland blends psychology, economics, and data analysis. Graduates apply their skills in public policy, marketing, behavioural research, consultancy, and fintech innovation roles.
The curriculum covers foundational economics — micro, macro, public finance, and monetary economics — alongside behavioural modules in decision-making theory, cognitive biases, nudge theory, and experimental economics. Students also develop strong quantitative competencies through mathematical economics and research methods, and gain exposure to contemporary topics such as health systems, government policy, and sustainable development. The programme is designed for students who want to understand the human dimension of economic decisions and apply that insight in real-world settings — from financial product design to public health campaigns. Self-paced and fully online, it is accessible to school leavers and career changers worldwide.
