Overview

Are you interested in human behaviour, psychology and empirical research? Do you love coming up with solutions to complex problems? And would you like to be the person people look to whenever a difficult decision has to be made? Then the master’s programme in Human Decision Science is the perfect programme for you. It takes the clarity of economic and game-theoretic decision analysis, and combines it with the human factors of bounded rationality, biases and emotions from psychology. You’ll study different facets of both fields, ranging from the neuropsychological basis of decision making to the mechanics behind decisions on a macro level. After completing the programme, you’ll be able to work on complex decision-making problems and you’ll be well equipped for a career in senior and executive positions.

Your future

This programme will give you a head start wherever human decisions are important, laying the groundwork for a career in senior and executive positions. You’ll be equipped to work in interdisciplinary teams dealing with strategic issues (policy, company strategy, marketing strategy, etc.) and conflicts of all kinds between different decision makers.

You could pursue a career at:

  • government institutions (policymaking and implementation)
  • NGOs and non-profit organisations (agenda setting, campaigning)
  • human resource departments (incentive schemes, performance assessment, conflict resolution)
  • healthcare and health insurance companies (medical decision making)
  • marketing (customer relations, consumer behaviour)
  • consulting, management coaching
  • academic research
