Doctor of Business Administration (DBA) Programme
Advance Your Career. Lead with Expertise. Research with Impact.
A Professional Doctorate for Experienced Business Leaders, Executives & Professionals
The Doctor of Business Administration (DBA) is an advanced professional doctoral programme designed for experienced executives, entrepreneurs, business owners, consultants, senior managers, faculty members and industry professionals who want to develop advanced knowledge, research capabilities and strategic leadership skills.
Unlike a traditional PhD, which is generally focused on theoretical and academic research, a DBA places greater emphasis on applied research, business leadership, strategic decision-making and solving real-world organisational challenges.
