Program Overview
To receive a Doctorate of Business Administration, students must earn 60 US semester credit hours that are equal to 14 courses, and successful defense of a dissertation.
The UBIS DBA research and thesis portion of the program consists primarily of individual research, under the supervision of qualified professors who provide a broad range of expertise as well as an international reputation.
At UBIS, every selected student will receive rigorous and tailor-made coaching by our doctoral faculty. The program can cover traditional research topics in fields such as management, finance, marketing, organizational behavior, as well as non-traditional topics depending on students’ needs. Virtually all topics are accepted as long as the research is connected to management.
Each module will contribute to the research for your Dissertation. Moreover, our very practical DBA is based on skills rather than merely research like other Doctorate programs. We will also help you perfect your public speaking abilities which we know is very important for any professional career.
During the program you will be guided by a professor with a deep understanding of the field you will be studying but at the end of the day the expert on the particular topic will be you.
An executive version of the program is available for individuals with sufficient academic or professional background in the field. The Executive Doctorate of Business Administration (EDBA) consists of 12 courses, that equal 60 US semester credits, and a successful defense of a dissertation.
