This master file is a course portfolio of 4 undergraduate entries and 4 postgraduate entries. Undergraduate: Brand & Marketing Management, AI & Brand Communication Design, Marketing and Communication, Digital Business. Postgraduate options include Brand Innovation, Brand Management, Digital Marketing and Innovation and Entrepreneurship. Each entry retains the parent credential officially, and puts pathways or concentrations within the specialisation field, rather than inflating them to separate degrees. Where the institution does not independently award doctorates, this record will describe only credible cooperative doctoral research programs and will note that formal admission is the responsibility of a doctoral awarding partner.
Brand University provides direct admission without NC. Campus-based students must complete advising and qualification checks, design applicants must present creative work, and online programs offer continuous enrolment and start dates for study. Applicants should check the current program page for the correct intake, language of instruction, academic prerequisites, selection method and document route before applying. International certificates may require certified translations, proof of equivalency, APS documentation for relevant countries or other language proof. Master’s committees may require module descriptions, credit details, professional experience, a portfolio, a motivation statement or an interview. Doctoral admission is independent of enrolment in the bachelor’s and master’s degrees and depends on an appropriate topic, supervision, funding, and formal acceptance by the awarding university.
Campus bachelor tuition is €525 per month for 36 months plus a €890 enrolment fee; the English Brand Innovation master’s is €745 per month, and online bachelor’s plans currently start at €179 per month, varying by pace and promotion. Tuition as advertized generally does not include housing, food, health insurance, residence formalities, private travel and optional project expenses. Applicants will be subject to the live fee schedule and signed study contract. Funding options may involve BAföG (for eligible students), the Deutschlandstipendium (if applicable), DAAD or Erasmus+ mobility scholarships, foundations, employer support, educational funds or paid research and student-assistant positions. Each funding option is considered independently from the admission process.
Career preparation reflects the advertising, media, design, retail, technology, consulting and branded-goods sectors in Hamburg and is not a guarantyd placement service. Students gain employability by working on real brand cases, creative studio work, AI design projects, research-lab assignments, briefs from partner companies, portfolio development and client-facing theses. Alumni and professional networks can offer mentoring, sector information and contacts but each student is responsible for applications and career decisions. The institution is most suitable for applicants looking for specialised education in brand and marketing, creative-business integration, English master’s education, and flexible campus or fully online education formats, provided that their prior education, language evidence, study format, and financing match the current program conditions.
