The DBA programme offers students the combination of practical applications with a scientific approach to problems.  You will be recommending far reaching improvements in the business and management environment, whilst at the same time you will become more skillful in thorough research.  Participating in the DBA programme, you will start to view your actions more assertively and you will find yourself raising your personal and professional game to a higher level.

The interaction between the participants is extremely motivating.  In each meeting, a number of participants will present their research subjects and the progress of their research.  A critical discussion follows the presentations; the result being direct feedback and new insights that are mutually generated.
