The Doctorate of Business Administration (DBA) is an executive doctoral program designed for high-achieving global executives who wish to enhance their research, analytical, and critical thinking skills. It enables students to study real business issues in depth and apply their knowledge immediately in their careers, while also learning the latest management techniques and research methods. The DBA is flexible, portable, and international, helping candidates build expertise that contributes to competitive advantage. Alternatively, an MPhil serves as a shorter research degree that tests suitability for postgraduate research and can often lead to a transfer to a PhD program, fostering collaboration and critical thinking skills among candidates. The PhD itself is intellectually demanding, requiring students to conduct independent, self-directed research that makes an original contribution to knowledge, ultimately culminating in a thesis. Successfully completing a PhD or professional doctorate allows graduates to earn the title of “doctor,” representing the highest level of academic achievement awarded by universities.
