阿伯泰鄧迪大學

Overview

This is a potential research degree area, subject to the approval of the University. If you are interested in undertaking a research degree in this area.

Abertay’s marketing research is particularly attentive to the latest evolutions in digital marketing in both companies and consumers’ perspectives. We are a member of the CIM (Chartered Institute of Marketing) 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.

Many of our research students focus on increasingly digitised behaviours. Even if a growing part of our students decides to develop their career in a job that is related to digital, our students are also prepared for careers as teachers and researchers, attuned to appraising the impact of technological evolutions.

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
