We are a group of students that are passionate about behavioural sciences and their application in a business context to influence attitudes and behaviour.

We function on a non-profit basis and are an official society recognized by the University of Manchester Student Union. Currently, we have 40+ official members, with a high number of AMBS students. We provide students with a platform to network, socialise, engage with and expand their knowledge in the fields of consumer behaviour, behavioural economics, organizational behaviour and other similar areas.
