Lancaster University has one of the oldest and largest marketing departments in Europe, with a vibrant research culture and a rich alumni network that you can connect with.

- Developmental psychology: how we develop throughout our lives and how growing up and ageing affect our experiences and behaviour
- Social psychology: how our thoughts, emotions and behaviours are influenced by others
