Consumer Behaviour (N1505)

15 credits, Level 5

Autumn teaching

On this module, you'll develop your knowledge and understanding of theories and concepts from marketing psychology, helping you understand consumers' motivations and behaviours.

You’ll examine fundamental processes in consumer behaviour, including:

• decision-making
• perception
• learning
• memory
• the self
• attitudes and persuasion.

You'll also explore how these processes are influenced by factors such as individual, situational, environmental, interpersonal, and cultural (sub-cultural) contexts.

Focusing on contemporary issues in consumer behaviour, you’ll learn how these insights can help marketing managers address challenges in the field. You'll learn to apply marketing psychology concepts to analyse, evaluate, and improve marketing strategies, while reflecting and critically evaluating your own behaviours as a consumer.
