This Master's program focuses on territorial branding, a rapidly evolving field crucial for the effective use of branding technologies in business, politics, science, art, and socio-cultural activities. It specifically examines territorial (regional) branding, which encompasses cities, settlements, regions, and countries. This involves analyzing, developing, and promoting these entities by consolidating various forms of capital (financial, symbolic, organizational, social, and human). The program highlights that territorial branding requires collaboration between public policy, business, and civil society actors. It is essential not only for attracting investment and tourism but also for strengthening regional identity, fostering social cohesion, and promoting inter-sectoral partnerships.
The curriculum is structured into modules across the first year of study. The program aims to provide a systematic understanding of territorial branding, including its goals, organization, forms, methods, and effectiveness evaluation. It draws on the work of domestic and international authors, as well as contemporary research and practical experience in Russia and abroad.
Graduates of this program will be equipped with the knowledge and skills to develop and implement effective territorial branding strategies. This can lead to careers in regional development agencies, government bodies, marketing and consulting firms, and organizations focused on city and regional promotion.
