What you will study

This master's at the University of Southern Denmark in Odense looks at how brands and marketing communication actually work in consumer markets. It is a two-year degree taught in English, and it takes a socio-cultural angle rather than a purely commercial one.

What you study

You work through marketing communication from the corporate level down to the brand level. The teaching uses advanced socio-cultural theory on consumer markets, so you spend time on the social and cultural principles and logics that sit behind branding and communication challenges. The programme also covers shifts caused by social media, creative consumers and consumer resistance. You learn to analyse these with advanced ethnographic methods and current marketing thought.

Admission, language and next steps

To be qualified, you normally need a BSc in Economics and Business Administration from a university. That means a bachelor degree with at least 75 ECTS in economics and business administration. Applicants with a professional bachelor degree or another qualifying degree may be admitted if they meet certain demands. You may also need to document your English at a level SDU specifies. If you are unsure whether your foreign certificate meets the general entry requirements, contact SDU directly. Students from the EU, EEA and Switzerland study free of charge. Other full-time degree students pay a tuition fee set by the institution. SDU offers 75 scholarships a year, and you can find details on its scholarship pages.
