The MA Brands, Communication and Culture at Goldsmiths
applies a theory-based approach to the study of brands, reflected in topics
taught on this MA’s core modules such as gender, colonial history and branding,
social media and open source cultures, and geodemographics and new forms of
social classification. Students will gain a comprehensive understanding of the
history and development of brands and branding, and their relationship to
contemporary forms of communication and culture. Students will also gain
in-depth knowledge of the social, political and economic backdrop against which
branding has become so important, and an understanding of the key themes and
debates surrounding its development and use, including the relationship between
brands and intellectual property, and the extent to which branding promotes or
inhibits openness and transparency within organisations.
