The Doctor of Business Administration is a professional doctorate designed to make an original contribution to management practice. Rather than a purely academic thesis, you engage rigorously with management theory and then carry out a focused programme of independent research into a specific problem from your own professional context.
Stage 1 is taught: advanced professional practice, the research problem and theory, and advanced research methods in a business context. Stage 2 is research: proposal approval, upgrade of registration, and the thesis and viva.
Taught-stage assignments, a research proposal, and a final thesis defended at viva.
Graduates typically hold or move into senior leadership, consultancy and academic roles where evidence-based practice is valued.
