Course summary

Our Executive Doctorate in Business Administration (DBA) is an action-research based postgraduate programme, designed for senior professionals who want to drive transformational impact within their organisations, and become thought leaders in their professional area.

Overview

At an individual level, the Executive DBA is a professional doctorate for business leaders, which means it provides access to the highest level of academic qualification. At a company level, the programme equips senior managers with high-level analytical and problem-solving skills to drive transformational change within their organisations.

This is a hybrid part-time learning programme, combining online modules with on-campus residencies during the first two years, to allow working professionals to study while fulfilling their job obligations.

The Executive DBA expands the traditional support from an expert supervisor, with Doctoral Development Plan modules aimed at strengthening the students' research capabilities, so they are able to deploy these skills during their thesis workplan and after graduation.

Programme structure

The Executive DBA is structured in two stages:

Stage 1 - Pre-thesis stage

During the pre-thesis stage students will complete four modules aimed at developing their research skills.This is an intensive 2-year period which combines four on-campus residencies with online learning sessions.After completing the Stage 1 of the programme, students will gain 180 credits at Level 7.

Stage 2 - Thesis development

During the thesis development stage, students receive regular one-to-one online support from their individual supervisor. In addition, students are provided with continuous research skills development through two new Doctoral Development Plan modules. During these sessions, students have access to group seminars and refresher workshops on different methodologies and aspects of the research process. The goal is to build capability and capacity, for students to be able to deploy these skills, not only in their thesis workplan, but also to continue doing this after graduation. The doctorate is awarded once students have completed Stage 2 of the programme, which accounts for 360 credits.
