Home / About / Academic staff profiles / Business and Management / Andrew Dean

Associate Head of School: Marketing and Digital

I am a natural and social scientist, with four doctorates, specialising in cognitive science, psychedelics, marketing management, and when possible, philosophy, theology and the supernatural. I have a wealth of experience working in high-technology commercialisation, and in running an international animal charity. Outside of these things, I love researching fairy tales and ancient Chinese history, alongside spending time with my cats watching K-dramas. So, if you fancy a chat about life, the universe, and everything, drop me an email.

Teaching and supervision

I currently teach the following module on MSc International Business Management:

  • PGBM115 MSc IBM Dissertation.

Research interests for potential research students

I am very interested to hear from enthusiastic MPhil/PhD students! Have a look at my research, and if you think we might discover the secrets of the universe together, send me an email.
