Doctor of Business Administration
University of Canberra, Canberra, ACT, Australia
About this program
A professional doctorate in business at the University of Canberra, four years full-time (up to eight years part-time), combining a year of coursework in research design and methods with a substantial thesis. It differs from a PhD by centring on professional practice and work-integrated learning, with candidates using their workplace expertise to investigate a real business problem in an area such as management, economics, accounting or organisational behaviour. Entry requires about five years of senior professional experience plus a relevant master's or honours qualification. Graduates move into executive and senior advisory roles. It suits experienced managers who want a doctorate focused on applied, workplace-relevant research rather than academic research.
