Executive DBA

Develop the research skills your business needs to enable transformational impact and growth, with our Executive DBA.

Format: part-time

Delivery: hybrid

Starting in: September 2025

Duration: 4.5-7.5 years


Our Executive DBA is an action-research doctoral programme for senior professionals who want to drive transformational impact within their organisations and become thought leaders in their professional area.

The programme provides the highest level of academic qualification; however, it has been specifically designed for business leaders, rather than those who want to be academic researchers.

If you hold a leading role in your organisation, the Executive DBA will provide you with new skills to resolve real-life workplace problems using research.

You will learn new ways to find solutions based on evidence, which you can use in addition to the experience you already possess to positively impact your organisation beyond graduation.
