LSE’s Department of Psychological and Behavioural Science is a growing community of researchers, intellectuals and students who investigate the human mind and behaviour in a societal context. Our department conducts cutting-edge psychological and behavioural research that is both based in and applied to the real world.

Our clear and determined focus on real world issues sets our department, and the LSE, apart. This focus enables us to conduct research that is not only theoretically well-informed, but also firmly rooted in questions from beyond the ivory tower, producing results that impact policy, business, and society at large. Our research and teaching are connected to what is happening in the world today, and the diversity of our students help shape our direction and provide constant inspiration. By maintaining a focus on real world questions and societal impact, our department has been leading the way on innovative research techniques in the field, the lab, and everywhere in between.

We offer a number of degree programmes at undergraduate, taught masters and PhD level, including our unique and dynamic Executive MSc Behavioural Science.
