The Specialist Certificate in Consumer Psychology covers a wide range of topics that deal with how consumers think, feel, respond and act toward product and service related information and experiences. Learning from cognitive, social, neurobiological and other psychology domains, students will gain an in-depth understanding of consumer behaviour that will in turn help them to explain, predict and influence consumer responses.
