Understanding what makes people tick, what motivates them, is the essence of consumer behaviour. It gives marketers the insight to solve the problems or challenges they face in creating new opportunities.

The course is underpinned by a deep understanding of professional practice and academic concepts.
You will draw on the expertise of lecturers with extensive professional credentials and research experience and be inspired by industry guest speakers, including those who graduated from the university. Many modules have assignments based on live briefs from national and international brands including BT, Harley-Davidson, and Just Eat.
Outside of the classroom, you have opportunities to be involved in student-led Marketing Society and a Business School initiative called 360, which offers students the ability to consult on marketing problems and opportunities for small and medium enterprises (SMEs).
