An exploration of the concept of branding in the higher education sector

Abstract

My research has concentrated on exploring branding in the university context and in particular on examination of the factors affecting the conceptualisation and management of brands, with a view towards identifying brand values applicable to the specific qualities of higher education. This, it is envisaged, will contribute to knowledge in terms of advancing understanding of a gap in the literature (the lack of research conceived specifically for branding educational organisations) as well as informing practice in what is a contemporary and sometimes contentious topic.
