DBA-Doctor of Business Administration-(Monthly Payment Plan Available)
The Doctor of Business Administration programme equips senior business practitioners and high-potential individuals with both knowledge as well as the applied and research skills needed to become executive-level organizational leaders, industry innovators, consultants and policy makers. Students ethically address complex and practical business challenges and learn how to transform business practices to create organizational optimization, growth and sustainability.
In academic terms, a DBA is completely equivalent to a PhD. The qualification is a full doctorate and will allow you to use the title ‘Dr’.
More general PhDs in Business and Management are available for students who wish to focus on academic research or don’t yet have the necessary professional experience for a DBA
