Behavioural Finance
Mainstream finance assumes that people are rational and is mainly concerned with how they should behave when making financial decisions. In this module, instead, we focus on how individuals make financial decisions in practice, and we use insights from psychology and behavioural economics to explain why they systematically deviate from normative financial theory and make predictable errors. The cognitive, emotional, and social biases that influence people’s decisions bear important implications for individual investors, financial managers, and the dynamics of financial markets.
The module builds on results from a wide spectrum of disciplines outside of finance (such as psychology, medicine, and sociology) and includes practical examples, simple in-class experiments, and discussions of academic studies. -

Behavioural Neuroscience
The module aims to develop the themes introduced in the Introduction to Psychology Module in semester 1. The module integrates the approaches and findings of biological psychology in an attempt to understand the biological factors that explain why people behave as they do. The module will examine how innate biological mechanisms control our desires. For example how is hunger and satiation controlled within the body. We then apply those principles to understand how the system might break down and might lead to conditions such as Obesity
The module is one of the pre-requisites for PSYC2025 and PSYC3048. -

Behavioural Operations
This module aims to develop your capabilities of addressing behavioural issues in an operational context. It goes beyond the typical focus on single decisions taken by an individual to decision making—possibly involving some strategic considerations—in what is called operations. Operations is an area of the management field focused on designing and controlling the processes involved with the production of goods or services. The study of operations can refer to the field of operational research or operations management. Known paradigms for the former include Multiple-Criteria Decision-Making and System Dynamics and for the latter Operations Management. In both cases, the module focuses on decisions under genuine uncertainty that cannot be meaningfully reduced to probability (risk). We cover novel and transparent tools that do not rely on probability, such as simple heuristics and simulations of system dynamics, and contrast them to traditional tools of optimisation in operational research and operations management. -

Behavioural Physiology
This course will provide an overview of behavioural physiology, which is a growing, interdisciplinary research area that stems from the idea that animal physiology and behaviour are inextricably linked and mutually enriching fields of study. This field focuses on identifying the causal physiological mechanisms responsible for observed behavioural patterns in animal species, and distinguish which mechanisms are common across animal groups and which are unique adaptations to specific taxa. Animals also face a barrage of natural and anthropogenic pressures driven by environmental factors throughout their lifetime, which can modulate the connection between physiology and behavior. -
