Consumer psychology is a specialty area that studies how thoughts, beliefs, feelings and perceptions influence how people buy and relate to goods and services. This course is designed for graduates wishing to start, or further develop, careers in Consumer Psychology and Business and is delivered by schools which enjoy an international reputation in their respective fields. The marriage of both disciplines is a natural one, as understanding behaviour and specifically consumer behaviour in the world of business can be crucial to organisational success. Today’s successful businesses and organisations need highly trained people who can help them understand their consumers and understand issues such as: what makes them choose one product over another? Do brand names and advertising really affect our thinking? Will the internet change the face of urban and suburban shopping areas?
