Dr Hao Du

Lecturer in Marketing

Background

I hold a Ph.D. in marketing from Newcastle University Business School, which was awarded in February 2022. The research topic covered the fields of consumer behaviour and patient engagement with online sexual health platforms.

Before the PhD, I completed my master's in MSc Project Management and passed the QA Level-3 course on PRINCE 2 Foundation and Practitioner for Project Management in 2016. My experience has developed industry-based applied skills, appropriate techniques, and knowledge in project management. My other master's is in MSc International Human Resource Management (2015), which has established my knowledge of practical strategies and models for decision-making in operational leadership.
