The Research Master's programme in Behavioural Science is a two-year international programme for social scientists who want to discover the how and why behind human behaviour. Contribute to a better understanding of human behaviour, whether that is normal or dysfunctional, and learn how to influence behaviour.

Behavioural Science (Research): Something for you?

• You will participate in group-oriented education and be part of a small, select group of highly motivated national and international students.
• Students can do the internship for their major research project abroad.
• A majority of our graduates gain PhD and other research positions.
• This study programme is rated top programme for three consecutive years according to the students (source: Elsevier 2019) and this Master's programme was recently awarded the quality label ‘Top Programme' in the Keuzegids Masters 2019 (Guide to Master's programmes).

What will you learn?

We believe that a multidisciplinary approach is needed to get the best understanding of human behaviour. We combine knowledge and research methods from the fields of psychology, educational sciences and communication science. These disciplines are not taught separately but instead are brought together in most of our courses, making our approach unique. Half the programme consists of learning research skills. There are many issues you can choose to study and a large research staff you can work with.
