Bootcamps and Additional Activities
1. Neuromarketing Principles
Neuromarketing is, at its core, the application of neuroscience to advertising communication, microeconomics and sales. In this course, the basis of the neurological models that support this field of research and knowledge will be presented, as well as their application in the world of business and enterprise. In order to learn about it, it will be essential to comprehend the basic principles of neuroanatomy and neurophysiology of the human brain, as well as to identify their implications in motivation and behaviour.

2. Neuromarketing Applications
This module aims to teach students about the main neuro-technological devices that neuroscience has designed for the scientific study of emotions, attention, memory and cognition and that could allow the understanding of how human beings make decisions in consumer environments. Students will work with the following equipment: Fixed eye tracking, mobile eye tracking, eye tracking in virtual reality ( V.R.), professional e-prime 3.0, Emotional EEG, multichannel polygraph and facial expressions.

There are various tools used to study behaviour and the psycho-physiological response to the stimuli presented. In most cases, it’s necessary to combine all of them in order to develop a precise study of the results and present conclusive results which speak of the desires, fears, sensations and feelings of the consumer.

Marketing nowadays is based on the construction of meanings from global brands. The point of this module is to present the contributions in psychology and cognitive neuroscience that can apply to marketing strategies and how they allow the development of business applications in product design, branding and advertising design. In this module, students will study successful advertising and marketing cases in which the concepts learned from consumer psychology and neuroscience applied to marketing take shape through strategic marketing.

Sales are currently defined in relation to demand. Through neuroscience and empathy, we will understand the reasons behind shopping and the feeling of satisfaction that comes with it. With practical examples drawn from the students themselves, questions will be answered as to why some shops are more appealing than others, or why do we sometimes buy items we do not want, as well as the reason behind the fact that when we look for a staircase when in a shopping centre, it is always facing the opposite direction we intended to go. We will observe, analyse and implement on a practical level everything we have learnt in the course.

Virtual Exchanges and COILs
During the development of the program, students will also be able to participate in a COIL (Collaborative Online International Learning) with students from the University TEC de Monterrey and CENTRUM in Peru*.
*Spots for both activities are limited to a maximum number of participants.
Company visits
The practical component of the program is indispensable and complements the theoretical training, whish is why during the programme, there will be debates on current topics of interest in each of the subjects, simulations for decision-making applied to real situations and case studies to analyse real problems in the sector and their proposed solutions.
Webinars
Most of the training is carried out asynchronously, which means that the exchange of knowledge takes place through a platform that allows sharing written texts without the need for people to be connected at the same time. Additionally, in each of the modules, synchronous sessions or 'webinars' are organized, where all participants are connected at the same time through an application that allows the exchange of knowledge in 'real time'.
Students taking the Lifelong learning Master’s degree in Neuromarketing and Consumer Behavior will have the opportunity to prepare for the Scrum Certification (Product Owner & Scrum Master)*.
* The cost of the certification, as well as the preparatory course, is not included in the price of the program.

OBS has an online methodology where the student is always at the core of the process. Said methodology is backed by active and internationally renowned professors who share their knowledge to enhance the professional development of students through a flexible, collaborative method with personalized monitoring. The goal is to create a unique educational experience that allows the assimilation of knowledge in a practical way.
