MA in Brand Development
Goldsmiths University
This exciting new degree will introduce you to debates surrounding one of the major areas in contemporary communications – brand development. Courses on the history and development of branding, and the changing role of promotion and design, will enable you to develop a critical and practical understanding of how branding is used in modern societies and institutions. This is not a marketing degree, however, and students will take a rigorous, academic approach to contemporary branding and its contexts. Key themes such as intellectual property rights, the changing media environment, globalisation, and the impact of digital communications technologies will also form part of the syllabus.

Being a Doctor
A challenging and rewarding career
Have you thought about becoming a medical doctor? There are over 650,000 licensed physicians in the United States, specializing in every discipline from Allergy to Urology. For the most part, they enjoy lucrative incomes, comfortable lifestyles, and prominent reputations in their communities. But becoming a physician is not an easy task, though. The educational process begins with a rigorous pre-med baccalaureate program. Standard curricula include heavy coursework in chemistry, biology, biochemistry, physics, physiology, mathematics, and so on. Pre-med students need to excel in their academic training in order to be considered for admission at a leading medical school. Affiliated with the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) are 125 accredited U.S. medical schools and 16 accredited Canadian medical schools.
