Online Doctor of Business Administration (DBA) Dissertation Track
The objective of this professional doctorate in business administration is to provide participants with the opportunity to make significant contributions to both theory and practice in the field and to develop a professional practice at the highest level.
It is a practical and research-based doctoral program in business and industry that is designed for mid-career executives who have already completed the MBA (or equivalent qualification) and are looking to further enhance their practical and theoretical knowledge in the field.
The dissertation track is requiring students to deliver a dissertation/monologue thesis at the end of their DBA program.
As far as supervision of thesis research is concerned it is to be noted that the DBA thesis supervisor generally looks at the scientific work being prepared by the student, supervises it, and is committed to ensuring that quality standards of the work are being met. A supervisor is a person with the requisite academic qualification and experience in the chosen field of thesis research. The supervisor has expert knowledge of the field in which the student is carrying out his/her research. The Supervisor’s task is to guide the DBA student from the commencement of the research through the oral presentation and defense of the completed research work (DBA viva).
The total duration for completing the DBA program is two (2) academic years or less which depends on the student’s motivation to deliver the thesis.
Admission requirements

- A Master’s degree in management (or associated discipline) with a minimum of 2 years of professional work experience;
