The DBA (Doctor of Business Administration) is a doctoral degree with a focus on application. Students submit an independent thesis on an area of research that is of interest to practitioners. The doctorate is the terminal academic degree, and it is expected that the thesis will build on existing scholarly work. Students who are accepted onto the DBA will be offered support through online and contact sessions, and it is expected that they will also contribute to their peer community.
An application pack comprising the following must reach the Director of Research at GIBS before the due date:
Progress on the research will be guided by a supervisor and monitored through regular engagement with the student. In order to complete the research, candidates need to share their research, at a practitioner-based forum.
The completed research study must be presented in the form of a doctoral thesis. Manuscript based on the thesis must be prepared for submission to an accredited academic journal, local or international, for publication as an empirical research paper. The successful completion of the doctorate depends on having the academic publication accepted into the process of review, as well as passing the thesis.
