Overview

The Doctorate of Business Administration is an online doctoral research programme of equivalent standing to the traditional Doctor of Philosophy. It features an integrated and structured programme of online study aimed at current and future leaders and managers who want to conduct original research relating to their professional context or area of managerial or business research practice. The research component stage involves the implementation of the research proposal through rigorous data collection and analysis, leading to the production of a 60,000-word thesis that presents the candidate's research, learning, and contribution to knowledge. Throughout the programme, candidates will be part of a diverse, supportive, and intellectually challenging research environment in Lincoln International Business School. In addition to the programme requirements, they are encouraged to engage in broader postgraduate training opportunities, present their work to academic audiences, and communicate the significance of their research to colleagues and peers. Achieving the award of DBA is recognition not only of an original contribution to knowledge, but also of a candidate's ability to continue to undertake pure and/or applied research and development at doctoral level.
