What Program Alumni Say
“Graduates of UBC’s Advanced Professional Certificate in Behavioural Insights (BI) will obtain knowledge in each step of the core BI research process, while at the same time conducting a BI project that runs in tandem with the certificate’s curriculum. This blending of theoretical education and real-world practical application, ensures graduates leave the program with the skills of a BI practitioner. The program is extremely well designed, led by passionate instructors and smoothly delivered virtually. The Fundamentals of Behavioural Insights prerequisite course is great standalone introduction to BI and serves as an ideal way to discover for yourself if the full certificate program is right for you. I would highly recommend this program.”
