Doctor of Business Administration (DBA)

About the Programme:

The Warwick DBA will provide you with advanced tools and research skills for strategic planning and decision making, enabling you to enhance your organisations performance through evidence-based practice. It is equivalent in stature to a Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) degree, but distinct in that you pursue applied research rather than theoretical knowledge as with a traditional PhD. It is the opportunity to conduct your own research in a business area of interest; turning you into a specialist in your field.

Choosing to undertake your DBA at Warwick Business School will provide you with the following benefits:

• Exclusivity - one-to-one access to our world-class faculty
• Cutting edge knowledge - access to the latest relevant theories and research
• Tailor-made study - helping you solve an issue in your organisation
• Future-proofing - preparation for the future in an uncertain world

New academic theories and practices can take decades to reach the ‘factory floor’, but as a DBA participant you will have direct access to the latest ground-breaking ideas in academia, and learn how to apply them to the activities of your organisation with the support of an experienced and well-matched supervisor, and a board of practitioners that can provide high-level input.
