Graduate Certificate in Behavioural Insights (C5V)

The Graduate Certificate in Behavioural Insights provides you with an industry-leading understanding of why people think and act in certain ways. Applying concepts and theories from fields such as behavioural economics, psychology and cognitive science, this course will prepare you to make game-changing decisions that result in better outcomes for individuals, business, and society.
Understanding how to implement and utilise behavioural insights unlocks an edge that allows you to stand above the crowd in an increasingly competitive world. With companies that implement behavioural insights principles outperforming their peers by 85% in sales growth and more than 25% in gross margin (Gallup Consulting), it’s no surprise that businesses are increasingly turning to behavioural economics in what has been dubbed the ‘Behavioural Revolution’ (Ernst & Young).


Your studies will be interwoven with the Tasmanian Behavioural Lab, providing you with a learning environment that delivers job-ready skills, leaving you prepared to uncover the behavioural factors underlying contemporary social, business, and economic issues, and to construct behavioural solutions to address them. You’ll convert your theory-based knowledge into practical skills from authentic applied teaching, with real-world examples and experiences equipping you with the capability to design, test, and evaluate behavioural interventions for evidence-based policy and strategy.
