This course will help you develop the skills for a variety of marketing and psychology careers.

The Department of Marketing at Strathclyde is recognised as one of the leading centres of marketing education and research in the UK.

In psychology, you’ll study human behaviour. Psychological research is motivated by the desire to understand both general behaviour (how we learn, remember, co-ordinate our actions and interact with others) and the reason for the differences between individuals such as personality or intelligence.

Facilities
Our high-quality facilities include six purpose-built experimental research laboratories:

• Driving simulator lab
• Memory lab
• Perception and action lab
• Psychophysiology lab
• Psycholinguistics lab
• Oculomotor lab
