MA Brands, Communication & Culture at Goldsmiths, University of London

This unique programme introduces the ways in which brands are developed and used. It will help you understand how the growth of branding in areas such as business, entertainment, politics, government, sport and culture has changed and how it is impacting the societies we live in. This MA offers a unique, theory-based approach to the study of brands, reflected in topics taught on our compulsory modules such as the rise of consumer culture and new forms of capitalism; gender, colonial history and branding; social media as promotional; and power relations between platforms, organisations, brands and consumers.
