LevelMasters Program
  • Behavioural Finance MSc includes:
    • Comprehensive training in finance
    • Special focus on behavioural economics (eg bounded rationality, overconfidence, ‘nudging’ people towards better decisions) and behavioural finance (eg mistakes in saving and investment, excess volume of trade, bubbles, predictability of financial markets)
    • Optional, ungraded modules eg C++, Python, Matlab, financial trading on Bloomberg and other trading-room systems, technical analysis
  • Behavioural finance studies irrationalities in savings and investment decisions as well as puzzles on financial markets. Some key topics are saving for retirement, insurance, predictability of returns, and bubbles.
  • Knowledge of behavioural finance provides students with a deeper and more realistic understanding of finance than is offered by the mainstream approach alone.
  • Such knowledge will hopefully make students less susceptible to common mistakes when they make financial decisions in their personal or professional lives.
