What our alumni say
The UBC Advanced Professional Certificate in Behavioural Insights program provided me with a practical toolkit to incorporate into my current field of work. From behavioural insights theory to statistical analysis and project management, this course taught me how to create, execute, analyze, and scale behavioural interventions accordingly. Whether in a traditional field like marketing or something more modernized such as user experience, this program applies to various work areas and levels of expertise.

The Advanced Professional Certificate in Behavioural Insights provides an opportunity to learn more about human behaviour from leading experts. The program provides an excellent opportunity to learn more about the theory behind behavioural insights in addition to providing the opportunity to develop practical skill sets to apply these theories to address real world challenges. Developing these skills not only supported my transition to a new career in the behavioural science field, but it also provided me with a new lens on human behaviour that I will be able to use throughout my career, no matter what field it is in.
