Course summary

Overview

Abertay’s research culture encourages areas of cross-disciplinary and inter-disciplinary working that are consubstantial to the latest evolutions of the marketing discipline.

We are particularly attentive to the latest evolutions in knowledge and practice that relate to strategic and digital marketing, and consumer behaviour. For example, the phenomenon of social media influencers presents ample opportunities for research, considering that billions of consumers regularly use social media platforms. Potential topics could include determinants of social media influencer success and ways in which social media influencers affect consumer behaviour.

We are a member of the Chartered Institute of Marketing (CIM) network and work very closely with industry. We preserve this proximity by encouraging dialogue with industry and opportunities for our students to work on marketing problems faced by real companies.

A research degree at Abertay is excellent preparation for a career as a researcher and an academic, as well as a diverse range of professions outside of academia.

Our research degrees

You have the option of studying an MSc by Research, an MPhil or a PhD.

When deciding which degree is right for you, you should consider the level of commitment required, the duration, cost and your career aspirations.

That being said, our research degrees are flexible. You can begin an MSc or an MPhil and then seek to transfer to a PhD without having to start your project all over again. You can also switch from full-time to part-time study, and vice versa.
