Consumer Psychology at Heriot Watt University at Edinburgh

The MSc in International Marketing with Consumer Psychology provides insight into consumer behaviour against a background of international marketing concepts. 

There are eight taught courses, divided equally over two semesters, followed by an international marketing with consumer psychology dissertation in semester 3. Assessment is specifically designed to develop professional career readiness and includes several collaborative projects with industry partners. 

There are two sets of mandatory courses. The first set provides the foundation in international marketing concepts (International Strategic Marketing, Contemporary Consumer Behaviour, Marketing Metrics, Branding and Communications, Research Philosophy and Practice). The second set delivers insights into the application of psychology to marketing decision making (Introduction to Human Factors and Psychology for Marketing). 

In Semester 3 the International Marketing with Consumer Psychology dissertation is the capstone course where students “deep-dive” into their chosen area of research.  Students will demonstrate their mastery of the subject area by developing new insight from analysis of valuable primary research.

The MSc is accredited by the Chartered Institute of Marketing (CIM) within the Graduate Gateway programmes. This provides graduate with a credit for prior learning upon completion of their degree or the choice of self-study for a CIM qualification during their programme of study.  This would require registration on one additional CIM training course to gain a CIM certificate or two additional courses to gain a CIM diploma.
