Program Director - MSc in Branding and Communication

In today's business environment, launching a business requires building a brand at the same time – and building a brand means developing a strong brand identity and meaning. As a future entrepreneur, indie professional or marketer, you will learn to create powerful brands that don’t just sell, but matter – brands that connect, inspire, and spark change. Our program rests on four pillars that shape tomorrow’s brand leaders. It begins with Entrepreneurial Spirit & Creative Branding, where you become a maker of ideas and ventures that disrupt, inspire, and drive growth. The second pillar, Digital Mastery, equips you to harness AI, data, and emerging technologies to enhance brand experiences. The third pillar, Content Strategy & Intellectual Depth, turns you into a content architect  capable of creating meaning, not just media  by combining storytelling, consumer psychology, and cultural insight. Finally, Purpose & Ethics guide you in connecting brands to meaningful causes.
