UBI’s DBA programme provides students opportunities to organise industrial visits to their peers’ organisations to learn more their strengths, qualities and best practices.
Learning in Stage one takes the form of classroom teaching, discussions and independent reading of the selected literature.
Preparation for the DBA dissertation continues in Stage Two as students participate in a series of doctoral workshops organised by UBI DBA faculty members. These workshops scaffold students’ acquisition of skills and knowledge related to the dissertation process and further explore some of the research considerations introduced in Stage One.
In Stage Three, students conduct further independent research and begin drafting the dissertation. Periodic consultations with their DBA dissertation advisor will be scheduled. Once the final draft of the dissertation is completed, students will defend their dissertation to justify the research assumptions, data and outcomes.
