| The UBC PhD program in Marketing and Behavioural Science is rigorous and scholarly. The emphasis here is on building a strong theoretical foundation and acquiring the quantitative skills you will need to explore the research questions that flow from your theoretical insights. While expectations are high, the collegial atmosphere is highly supportive, and conducive to PhD success. Doctoral students and faculty members regularly stop by each others' offices to exchange and challenge new research ideas. The weekly marketing and behavioural science seminar series complements this by providing a forum where these concepts are presented and further developed. Perhaps above all, one gets the sense that this is a place where people enjoy asking questions - and delight in looking for answers. |
