Successful management of the marketing process requires effective information about consumers and the market. Marketing Research is a dynamic process linking consumers to marketers through information. The course is designed to develop your skills as a marketing decision maker. While some students may take on roles in marketing research many more will take on the role of marketing manager. The course is structured so as to provide students with a solid introduction to the marketing research process, and conducting and understanding research to obtain information to aid marketing decision-making. The emphasis will be on translating marketing concepts into context-specific operational decisions and actions using research methods and analysis.
Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion, students will have the knowledge and skills to:
- Identify marketing problem(s) to assist in decision making;
- Choose the methodologies to acquire evidence in an ethical manner to address the marketing problem;
- Retrieve primary and secondary data to solve the marketing problem;
- Establish the methodological quality, reliability and validity of the data collected;
- Integrate all types of relevant evidence towards finding solutions to the marketing problem;
- Find solutions to the marketing problem based on the integrated relevant evidence; and
- Produce an evidence-based marketing report to maximise the likelihood of effective implementation of solutions.
Research-Led Teaching
Research-led and practice-based teaching: This course provides students with a unique opportunity to apply theoretical and methodological skills in real-world research practice, using the latest tools and methods in social sciences, especially in marketing.
Research-based assessment:
Practical (industry-related): Students will work in groups of 4-5 on a marketing project for an industry client. Groups and clients are selected by students on a first-come, first-served basis. The project involves addressing a real marketing problem faced by a company, requiring groups to use theoretical knowledge and research techniques taught in the course to collect qualitative and quantitative data. The aim is to provide evidence-based solutions for the clients. This industry-related project embodies the Work Integrated Learning component, emphasising a ‘student-centered’ and ‘learning by doing’ approach. Student engagement with research is facilitated through:
- A comprehensive introduction to research through a problem-based approach.
- A research process to explain various methods through in-class tutorial activities and a marketing research proposal.
- Independent and team-based action research using core marketing research concepts, theories, and data collection and analysis skills to write up the research report.
Academic: Students develop research proposals addressing an empirical or theoretical marketing problem of academic interest, requiring research technique applications to broader issues.
Field Trips

Additional Course Costs
