At Keele University, we’re different. Nestled in 600 acres of countryside in the heart of the UK, we have a big campus but a small and cosmopolitan community. We proudly rank 1st for student satisfaction in the National Student Survey for the last three years. This is because it’s more than green and lovely, it’s a place of research and academic excellence too. The Marketing and Psychology combined honours degree at Keele provides you with an excellent understanding of why humans feel, think and act the way they do and the impact that marketing and communication can have on human behaviours. You will learn about marketing and business in the context of social and cultural trends and will be encouraged to apply your learning to strategic decision making. In your Marketing modules, you’ll start with core modules that introduce you to the basic foundations of knowledge about markets and consumers, patterns of consumer behaviour and how to understand and communicate with them. You will also learn about the wider context in which business operates; its social, legal and political dimensions. As the course progresses, you will also have the opportunity to deepen your knowledge by exploring branding and digital marketing, which have very rapidly evolving skill requirements.In Psychology modules, you will find out what the latest research tells us about human behaviour in a biological and cognitive framework.
