Learn more about the programme

The Doctor of Business Administration (DBA) is a rigorous 180-credit doctoral program designed to equip business students, managers, practitioners, and leaders with advanced knowledge, research, and analytical skills. Unlike master's programs, the DBA emphasizes the practical application of theory to address real-world business challenges. This program enables learners to apply their knowledge and skills directly to real-life situations and scenarios, fostering a transformative learning experience. By developing robust research capabilities, students can approach complex business problems with innovative solutions that drive organizational efficiency, growth, and long-term sustainability.

The DBA is a flexible yet demanding online program that allows students to progress at their own pace. The duration of the program varies depending on the chosen pathway—coursework or research. Most students complete the qualification within three years, though those opting for the research pathway may earn their degree in less than three years.

The DBA program is ideal for business students, managers, executives, and practitioners who aim to enhance their strategic decision-making and leadership skills.

The course offers an in-depth exploration of key business disciplines, starting with Advanced Research Methods to equip students with sophisticated research skills. Managerial Economics and Financial Management provide insights into economic principles and financial strategies essential for effective management. Marketing Management focuses on strategic marketing techniques, while Business Ethics and Social Responsibility emphasizes ethical decision-making and corporate responsibility. Students will also delve into Economic Theory and Policy, explore Leadership in Organizations for effective team management, and refine their Managerial Decision Making skills to tackle complex business challenges.

The course is delivered in two segments.

Segment 1 consists of eight modules, and Segment 2 consists of a RESEARCH REPORT(paper).
