DBA – UK China Institue

ENTREPRENEURSHIP

DOCTOR OF BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION (DBA)

WHO SHOULD DO A DBA?

If you already have a master’s degree, then perhaps the next stage for you is a Doctorate in Business Administration.

The prestige of receiving a doctorate and being able to focus on a project in your own company maybe just the kind of program you need.

WHY OUR DBA?

Think about the way you can match your own experience with an academic project about your own company.

We want you to be able to deeply investigate your own business but in a way that you can achieve great academic success.

HOW CAN I USE MY UKCHINA INSTITUTE DBA?

Apart from the prestige of holding a doctorate, the way your DBA helps shapes how your conduct in your business is clear.

You will conduct a project that focuses on YOUR OWN COMPANY and that draws on your own experience but also that of various experts – university, global company and foreign governments.

THE STUDENT VIEW

I wanted to add to my university learning but already had a master degree. The DBA was the logical next step.
