Why choose Consumer Marketing?
- You are interested in the consumer as the centre of the marketing process, emphasising human behaviour and consumer psychology.
- We all consume on a daily basis, so this track is closely linked to your own life and experiences as a consumer. That makes the theories and examples discussed more concrete and relatable.
- The track offers opportunities for cross-pollination and collaboration with students from the complementary Digital Marketing track, via shared course work and assignments.
