Teaching & student supervision

Highlights

Anne has developed the Market Research courses offered by the School of Marketing for undergraduate, postgraduate and offshore delivery. The courses differ from traditional market research subjects in that it aims to turn students into astute buyers and users of market research, rather than actual market researchers. This philosophy is far more in line with the career positions of graduates.
