Behaviour Change

Do you need people to do things differently? Is influencing the behaviour of others an essential part of your work?

The greatest challenges facing humanity today, as well as many of the projects you may be working on in your more immediate context, are made up of behaviours. Are you confident that you are applying a rigorous, evidence-informed, and ethical approach to behaviour change?

The Graduate Certificate of Behaviour Change is designed to develop mindsets and applied skill-sets that enhance your capacity to unpack, critically analyse, and creatively address complex problems using fit-for-purpose, evidence-based tools. Our commitment to you is to prepare you, as emerging behaviour change specialists, for high-impact work in any sector or country, and across a range of key societal challenges. What you will learn will be applicable to any context or project where there is a need to influence behaviour towards a greater good.
