Description of the research field and topics

The marketing group at Tilburg conducts academic research at a world class level. Our aim as a department is to excel in all three areas of marketing: Quantitative Modelling, Consumer Behavior, and Marketing Strategy. Independent evaluations, UTD rankings, and our track record in top marketing journals all testify to the high quality of our work. Our faculty members each have their specializations, and cover the wide field of marketing from retailing to online behavior, from branding to media effects, and from (social) perception to decision making.

Course program

We have a small group of PhD students (typically 1 to 3 that start each year), that are an integral part of our department. They follow excellent courses taught by our faculty, are supervised by our research faculty, and take part in lab group meetings, seminars etc. Our top students often join international selective meetings like the AMA-Sheth doctoral consortium. If interested, students can also select coursework taught by world-class scholars from other relevant areas (such as psychology for CB, management for marketing strategy, or econometrics for modelling).
