Course summary
A DBA on the other hand is a professional degree, designed to support you and give you with the skills you need to deliver unique solutions, based on accurate un-biased analysis of a situation in your sector or organisation. The programme consists of two stages: the course stage and the research stage, and builds on the learning gathered on completion of an MBA or MSc programme.
The course stage will equip you with the knowledge and expertise needed to develop the topic of your thesis and your understanding of the research process. The stage comprises of three courses, Introduction to Business Research 1, 2 and 3. On completion of these courses, you will move on to the research stage which consists of two phases: the mentored phase and the supervised phase. Pass these, and then submit your final thesis for examination.
