Rosie Contino
MSc Behavioural and Economics Science

Why did you choose Warwick?
During my undergraduate studies in economics, I found myself increasingly curious about why people make certain decisions in response to social and market conditions. This curiosity led me to pursue an MSc in Behavioural and Economic Sciences at the University of Warwick, where I was drawn to the program's unique blend of psychology and economics with a strong quantitative focus.
What aspects of the course have you found rewarding?
One of the most rewarding aspects of my time at Warwick has been the opportunity to explore both psychology and economics side by side. This multidisciplinary approach has given me valuable insights into human behavior and how it shapes economic systems. The program's rigorous training in coding and data analysis has also pushed me to develop practical skills that will be crucial for my future career.
What are your career aspirations?
Looking ahead, I’m excited to continue my academic journey with a second MSc in Social Cognition, Research, and Applications at UCL. My ultimate goal is to pursue a research career exploring how social factors, particularly those influenced by digital media, shape behavior and decision-making.
