On BA Economics with Psychology, you study the global economy, economic drivers behind human behavior, and the human mind; developing parallel methods of analyzing decision-making and cognition. The BA allows for further flexibility on optional modules, allowing you to tailor your degree to suit your interests. Through combining economics with psychology you gain a deepened knowledge as to why individuals are not always behaving in their own best interests. Understanding this and the frameworks of behavioral economics can help policymakers create environments that nudge people toward making wiser decisions and healthier lives.
