What our alumni liked the most.

Andreia Ferreira Ruivo
Product Marketing Lead, N26

"This course really was a dream come true, I finally got to learn from teachers and I feel so much secure in my knowledge of behavioural science. If you want to learn more about applied BS, 100% recommend you try this."

It was easy for everything else to fall into place because the teaching style was so human, energetic and flexible. The presentations I enjoyed having more than one teacher breaking up the rhythm of the class, this added dynamism as we switched to a different topic. In Class Exercises: This as well was great to immediately “attempt” to apply what we had just learnt. The difficulty of these was set just right, meaning we had to recall and apply but we never felt we failed. Interacting with others and talking things through was sufficient to succeed, this was rewarding. Resources, Homework, Materials: Receiving the class deck, getting homework and related readings helped me know where I stood and revise content. The fact that I could reach out and communicate real time made me feel supported.
