Program Overview
The Doctor of Business Administration is the highest level of study in the field of business and management. It is designed for experienced professionals who want to take their thinking and their careers to the next level. This course is ideal for those who wish to explore challenging workplace questions and find practical solutions to them.
The DBA is a professional doctorate, which means it combines academic study with real-world experience. It is equivalent to a PhD, but instead of focusing only on theory, it is based on applied research. This means students work on actual problems from their own jobs or industries and try to find answers that are both useful and meaningful.
The course has two parts. Part One involves a set of taught modules. These help you build your critical thinking, analytical skills, and understanding of business research. You will examine real companies and situations, learning how to ask the right questions and think critically about what is happening. You will also improve your knowledge of how businesses work and how to study them in a professional and detailed way.
