PhD (Consumer Science) (Development)

The Ph.D. Program follows a strong research-intensive tradition on the North American model. It is designed to enable students to gain a deep knowledge of management in general, to develop a concentration in a specialized field, and to provide opportunities for students to do significant original research in their chosen area. Ph.D. students are offered intensive and targeted research training and exceptional collaboration opportunities with faculty to prepare them for their future careers in teaching and/or research. It emphasizes the development of sophisticated, state-of-the-art research skills that help in the creation of new knowledge in a chosen area of marketing: Consumer behavior that is mainly psychology-based, and Quantitative modeling that is largely based on economic and statistical theories.

Non-MPhil holders may be admitted through an integrated MPhil and Ph.D. program study scheme.

The goal of the Ph.D. program is to develop outstanding scholars who will become active contributors to marketing knowledge and will go on to secure academic jobs at top international universities. In keeping with this spirit, several of our students have published papers in top research journals while in the programme.
