Grigorios’ teaching interests lie around Marketing Research, Marketing Management and Consumer behaviour and his teaching portfolio spans all levels of HE from undergraduate to PhD levels.

His teaching philosophy is driven by a genuine passion to provide students with an interactive, dialogical, and real-life grounded view of theory by stimulating critical thinking and challenging existing views.
