A professional doctorate for senior managers who want to research a real business problem and lead with evidence.
The DBA starts with advanced subjects in strategy, marketing, finance, people and data, then moves into research training and a dissertation on a question from your own field. Teaching uses case studies, projects and workshops. It suits people who aim for senior leadership, consulting, or a teaching and research career in business.
The programme is offered and assessed by GlobalNxt University in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Teaching staff are a team of ADVEX faculty appointed by the university, and ADVEX Management School is the university's Local Access Point (LAP) Partner in Thailand.
