Overview
Doctor of Business Administration is taught at a number of UK universities, and the entry terms are set department by department rather than nationally. Doctoral study normally runs 3-4 Years Standard and is built around your own research, supervised rather than taught.
Teaching in Business Administration is assessed through coursework and group work more than examinations, and most departments run a consultancy or company project in the final stage. We currently work with 2 universities on this course across 2 cities.
The lowest English requirement we hold on this course is IELTS 6.5, and departments asking more than that usually expect a stronger academic record too. Tuition is £8,950 a year.
If you are comparing this against two or three other courses, send us all of them. We will set the entry terms and the fees side by side.
