About

The Doctor of Business Administration (DBA) from University of Worcester is a professional doctoral degree designed to enhance business leadership and professional practice. It is run in collaboration with FHM Bielefeld in Germany.

Overview

The Business Administration programme at University of Worcester is designed to provide an opportunity for business professionals to work creatively by analysing and synthesising research literature, and their own research evidence, to understand their own professional contexts more critically and to find solutions to key challenges in their working environment. 

Our DBA programme offers you:

  • Academic rigor: Gain a deeper understanding of your chosen subject area with a challenging combination of research training and supervised research.
  • A wide variety of research interests: We have a strong mix of academics with a high degree of professional and personal experience enabling you to get the most out of both the taught and research element of your programme.
  • Excellent supervision: Benefit from a professional and challenging relationship with your supervisory team, drawn from experienced professionals working at the forefront of their disciplines.
  • Resources: Access to the University of Worcester’s virtual resources and to the state of the art library facilities at The Hive.
  • Networking opportunities: Because of the way that the taught element is structured and organised, the programme offers the enrichment opportunity of working alongside health and education professionals forming a ‘community of practice’. 

Programme Structure

Programme structure:

  • The taught programme commences with a 3-day-long teaching block. 
  • This is followed by 10 weekend blocks that are spread across the following 18 months, so as to cause minimum disruption to your workload. 
  • The weekend blocks are either in the form of virtual tutorials or face-to-face teaching that will mainly take place at FHM Bielefeld or occasionally at the University of Worcester.
  • The taught programme is shared across our three Professional Doctorate Programmes therefore offering you the opportunity to work alongside professionals in the health and education disciplines.
  • Although the delivery is described as ‘taught’, at DBA level the delivery is about a process of professional critical engagement between academic staff and participants.
