What is a DBA?

The Henley DBA is a part-time professional doctoral degree with an international scope and reputation. The programme is designed to enhance executive and professional practice. This is through the application of sound theory and rigorous research into real and complex issues in business and management.

It enhances the capability to develop knowledge and theory, and their application. Key to this is a programme to develop personal, consultancy and research skills in the context of rigorous and relevant research.

Aims

The Henley DBA will enable you to:

Develop a sound understanding of the conceptual and theoretical underpinnings of your chosen area of research into business and management.
Have a detailed understanding of applicable techniques for research and advanced academic and management enquiry.
Create and interpret knowledge through original research. Enhance both your performance as a reflective practitioner and your professional practice.
Develop personal, consultancy and research competences to undertake rigorous research at an advanced level. Also, to contribute to theory and practice in business and management.

Who should consider a DBA?

The programme will be of particular benefit to experienced senior executives, consultants, management educators and business school academics.

A DBA from Henley will enhance professional capability and credibility. You will develop networks and provide a firm foundation for further career development, or a major career move. Employers benefit from supporting candidates for the DBA by attracting, developing and retaining key talent and building knowledge for competitive advantage.

DBA and PhDs: Equal but different

The DBA has both rigour and relevance as it contributes to theory and practice in business and management. The DBA typically focuses on research 鈥榠n鈥� organisations rather than research 鈥榦n鈥� organisations. It involves cross-disciplinary work and mixed methods and contribute to developing your own practice and development.
