Bachelor of Science in Neuroeconomics and Decision Neuroscience
Study how humans value, choose and err — combining economics, cognitive science and rigorous quantitative methods.
A research-led bachelor of science for minds fascinated by how humans value, choose and err. It fuses microeconomics, cognitive neuroscience and rigorous quantitative method into a single, evidence-driven discipline.
No passive lectures. A curriculum built for how the mind actually learns.
Every course runs as a live, high-intensity seminar. Preparation happens before class; class time is spent thinking, defending ideas and applying them. Progression is governed by demonstrated mastery — never by age or time served.
Engage independently with curated readings, problems and worked examples before every seminar.
Small live seminars built on structured discussion, argument and immediate faculty feedback — no lecturing.
Transfer each concept to real problems — ventures, research, systems and civic projects grounded in your own context.
Advance only when you can explain, defend and use what you know. Recorded oral explanation is central from the earliest years.

Transferable habits of thought, practised in every course
Rather than memorisation, Simo trains a durable set of thinking skills that transfer across subjects, industries and a lifetime. They are introduced early, revisited deliberately, and assessed continuously.
Logic, quantitative and algorithmic thinking to frame, decompose and solve problems.
Framing hypotheses, designing evidence, reading data and reaching defensible conclusions.
Writing, speaking, visual and multilingual expression that persuades and clarifies.
Multiple causality, trade-offs and second-order effects in complex human and technical systems.
Combining ideas across disciplines to produce original, useful and beautiful work.
Judgement under real stakes — responsibility, fairness and the human consequences of decisions.
- Microeconomics & choice
- Cognitive neuroscience
- Judgement & decision-making
- Experimental methods
- Data & causal inference
- Research capstone
An original research study — hypothesis, design, data and defence — presented to faculty. Strong projects become publishable work or the seed of graduate research.
Behavioural research, analytics, product, policy.
Recognised secondary qualification or Foundation & Accelerated Entry Pathway.
A rare, rigorous science degree available fully online across Africa, in English or French, at regional tuition with Mobile Money instalments. Build research skills the continent's institutions, markets and policymakers urgently need.
