The programme is aimed at professional managers from a wide range of business and industry sectors and normally requires candidates to lead a significant strategic management project. The DBA is equivalent to that of a PhD but focus primarily upon identifying how professional practice will change as a result of the new knowledge developed and generated from the Professional Doctorate. Due to the nature of the programme and the need to show a clear and well articulated contribution to professional practice, the programmes are only offered on a Part-Time basis.
