DBA - Doctor of Business Administration, in contrast to a traditional academic PhD, is designed to help students apply research-based thinking to business ideas, whilst deepening and broadening their understanding of professional practice. However, the DBA degree outcomes are equivalent to a PhD including level of award & title and permits you to use the title of βDr.β upon satisfactory completion
. Lot of students prefer the DBA programme as alternative to the traditional PhD doctoral research degree that is mostly more theory-oriented and less applied to address pragmatic needs of organisations. Unlike, the PhD research programme, the DBA study also includes an intensive (normally, 1 year) taught phase that prepares students in considerable depth for the empirical research that they undertake β usually in the organisation where they are currently employed at a senior/executive level. As the name suggests, this research degree is based on Business & enterprise or business management subject.
