Why study Behavioural Science in Nijmegen?

Our approach to the field of Behavioural Science

The staff of the Behavioural Science Institute at Radboud University are not just behavioural science experts, but originate from the fields of psychology, educational sciences and communication science. Together they tackle issues regarding human behaviour. We believe that in order to fully understand human behaviour you need to use knowledge from all these fields together instead of separately. For example, looking at a psychological issue from a communication perspective could offer new and valuable insights that will lead to better diagnosis or interventions.

At Radboud University we will not just teach you existing research methods in the different fields of Behavioural Science. You will also learn to look beyond conventions and combine or adjust methods from other disciplines to enable you to do research that will answer your questions. You will not only become a highly skilled researcher but also an innovative one.

  • 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 scores above average, compared to the national average according to the students (source: Keuzegids Masters 2022 and 2023).
