Are you a private or public sector management professional looking to advance your career as you work? This Global Professional Doctorate in Business Administration uses scheduled teaching and independent research to help you do just that.
In your first part of the course, you will engage in online learning and synchronous (live online) classes with our experts to study and learn about specific topics, before conducting an applied, work-based research project that focuses on topics directly relevant to your organisation in the following years.
You'll develop your professional knowledge and skills as you learn, benefiting both your own career as well as your current employer.
The research on this course addresses real business issues — so you'll help solve organisational problems in your current workplace by providing research outcomes that are directly relevant to your organisation.
When you apply for this course you'll typically be working at a senior or executive level in your organisation, already hold a postgraduate qualification, and be keen to take your management and professional development to new levels.
