We live in a consumer-driven society. This course enables you to understand how consumers think, and how this is essential to marketing and the formulation of policy.
The difference between this course and BSc Consumer Behaviour and Marketing is that it includes a one-year industrial placement between the second and final year, either in the UK or abroad.
This course is the first of its kind in the UK, bringing together the disciplines of consumer behaviour, marketing and applied economics. You will be taught by world-leading specialists, including strong collaborations with staff from the Departments of Psychology, and Food and Nutritional Sciences.
An important part of this course is a consumer-based market research project. You will work in groups, acting as consultants for a real-life commercial or public sector client. You will also work on a large-scale individual project conducting applied research and gain insight from outside speakers who are working in industry.
In the final year, your dissertation enables you to study an area that you’re passionate about. Recent dissertations have discussed consumer behaviour and marketing in relation to brands, globalisation, sport, viral advertising, gender, binge drinking, computer games, cosmetics, fashion, product placement, technology and food.
