Applied Economics Vs Behavioral Economics UCD

Been looking at signing up for a masters, looking for opinions on these two and how they compare. Behavioral Econ seems to have a more interesting subject matter, but you are obligated to do a thesis at the end which doesn't interest me too much.

Been looking at signing up for a masters, looking for opinions on these two and how they compare.

Behavioral Econ seems to have a more interesting subject matter, but you are obligated to do a thesis at the end which doesn't interest me too much. I'm also not sure how employers would perceive a theory based degree does it look worse than applied economics?

However Applied Econ seems more mechanics focused, generally being more maths based but the opportunity to do a internship at the end is a major bonus.

Both degrees are in UCD, this is a new account so they wont let me post the links.

Anyone do either degree or know of a better economics degree?
