Taught Modules

MN-M013 Marketing Management

The purpose of this module is to teach students how to analyse markets and buyers' behaviour. It looks at all aspects of marketing including how to identify appropriate markets, how products can be developed to suit chosen markets, and provides an overview of the factors that need to be considered when developing and executing marketing programmes.
MN-M558 Marketing Research

Marketing research is fundamental to the decision making of any type or size of business. Accurate interpretation of relevant and timely data can help reduce organisational risks and uncertainty, and facilitate the achievement of marketing objectives. Transformative research that benefits consumer welfare and the quality of life of all those impacted by consumption is also rising in significance. This module will equip students with the knowledge and skills needed to acquire, interpret and critically evaluate marketing and consumer research. Upon completion of the module, students should have an understanding of the marketing research industry and awareness of the issues and trends currently impacting it.
