About Doctor of Business Administration, DBA - at The University of Bradford

The Bradford Doctorate in Business Administration (DBA) is the pinnacle of management education, and was launched in 2001. This doctoral degree is as academically rigorous as a PhD, but is designed for senior experienced professional managers.

It connects academic theories and concepts with business and management practices.

In the first phase of the programme you’ll undertake advanced studies on management practice, critiquing existing theory and studying research methods under the guidance of leading academics and practitioners.

The second phase involves conducting empirical research and writing a dissertation, under the guidance of two experienced research supervisors.

The Bradford DBA offers a range of personal development and career opportunities, and some of our students do publish in leading academic and practitioner journals. DBA students at University of Bradford School of Management will become part of our international alumni network of business people. Current and recent DBA students work for companies such as Shell International, Siemens, Bayer, ING Group and Phillips International.

Notes about fees for this course

You'll be charged interest on your loan as soon as you take it out, but you only start repayments once you earn more than a certain amount - currently £21,000.
