The program exceeded my expectations with its outstanding professors, comprehensive curriculum, and hands-on capstone project, which allowed our team to design and implement a complete behavioural insights initiative. The program transformed my perspective, providing me with a behavioural lens to approach business and marketing strategies effectively and thoughtfully. I highly recommend it to anyone passionate about behavioural science who wants to broaden their knowledge and gain a transformative perspective on human behaviour.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right\"><strong>\u00d6zer Tozo\u011flu<\/strong><em><br>Class of 2023<br>Marketing Manager, Solventum<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">&#8220;The <em>Advanced Professional Certificate in Behavioural Insights<\/em> offers an amazing opportunity and hands-on methodology to rethink how we invite people \u2013 employees, citizens, clients \u2013 to make and implement the best choices for their health and wellbeing.
