BIX: Behavioural Insights Exchange
The UCL BIX programme enables organisations to work with our Masters' students to help solve pressing issues with the application of behavioural science. To Masters’ students within the Division of Psychology and Language Sciences, BIX offers out-of-lab, real-world research opportunities as well as the potential to collaborate with industry.
Industry partners will benefit directly from the outputs of a BIX project, which can fall into 3 main categories:
- Systematic reviews/Insight reports
- Analysis of existing data
- Novel data collection
