DBA

The DBA is designed for high-performing professionals who want to stimulate organisational, national or international development. It is a work-situated doctorate delivered online, so participants keep their senior roles while they study. Participants join a growing research community and develop practitioner research that influences strategic change in their field. Researcher development modules help students plan their personal and professional growth while designing practice-oriented projects. Prior Master's-level learning may be recognised for the first stage. Applicants should hold a senior leadership role and be able to study and research in the country where they live and work, as visa sponsorship is not offered. The programme's emphasis on research and practice means that graduates are equipped to influence strategy within the organisations they serve.
