NMIMS School of Branding and Advertising

Welcome to SVKM’s NMIMS School of Branding and Advertising. We offer an immersive pedagogy that nurtures and moulds students into world-class, skilled professionals. Built on an inspiring legacy, today, NMIMS stands proud as a Deemed to be University offering multiple disciplines across multiple campuses. The consistent academic quality, research focus, faculty from top national and global institutes and strong industry linkages at NMIMS have placed it amongst the nation’s prime centers of educational excellence and research today.

The School of Branding offers two programs: a 3-year undergraduate program culminating in a degree of Bachelor’s in Business Administration (Branding and Advertising) and an 18-month Post-Graduate Programme in Digital Media and Marketing Communication.

Our programs are meticulously designed to instill a deep understanding of consumer, market, and management fundamentals. We go beyond traditional knowledge delivery by integrating practical and experiential learning into every course. This approach cultivates the development of strategically sound, innovative, and relevant media elements that are instrumental in crafting successful brand campaigns. We empower our students to adeptly build brands through a comprehensive blend of strategic and tactical branding approaches, leveraging a diverse array of teaching tools including classroom sessions, skill-building masterclasses, and invaluable insights from industry experts.

The school of branding fosters multidimensional growth, providing an learning ecosystem that shapes the cognitive, social, creative and critical thinking skills of the student. There are plenty of student activities to participate in. Our Admire – Ad-fest sees participation from the finest Indian and International universities. Our students participate and win in global competitions as well as industry approval.

I invite visiting professors with deep industry experience in academia, branding industry, media, and creative fields committed to nurturing intellectual curiosity and practical relevance.

My vision is to provide an institutional compass that nurtures young individuals and produces socially responsible, creative, passionate professionals and business leaders who positively impact our world in the years to come.

Our learning design aims to inspire all young dreamers who want to follow their dreams. As you embark on this educational adventure, I encourage you to experience our vibrant and diverse academic community and participate in student clubs, sports, cultural and marketing festivals, masterclasses, and talk series.
