FindAMasters summary

The Doctor of Business Administration (DBA) programme at Leicester Castle Business School offers senior professionals and researchers the opportunity to develop their skills and create innovative solutions with lasting impact. Unlike a PhD, the DBA focuses on research that emerges from real-world practice, combining practitioner and academic knowledge. With access to diverse research areas and a community of peers from various sectors, you'll gain the ability to tackle organizational challenges and develop insights for change. The programme features a mix of teaching methods and assessment formats, including block sessions, seminars, workshops, and e-learning. Entry requirements include an honours undergraduate degree, professional membership, or equivalent experience, along with a research proposal and CV.
