Global College Malta’s Doctor of Business Administration (DBA) is a professional doctorate designed for senior managers and leaders in private, public, and not-for-profit organisations. The programme is specifically designed for critical thinkers and practitioners who wish to reflect in-depth on their organisations and society more generally. The format of the DBA is designed so as to allow learners to engage in applied research, bringing established and cutting-edge theory to bear on their practical organisational issues. Students on the DBA programme develop and enrich practice in their respective areas of research interest, as well as contribute to the wider understanding of the underpinning theoretical base of their work.
The College’s DBA has a structured approach based on a number of high intensity taught modules, blended lectures, guest talks, workshop discussions, student presentations and research symposia. The doctoral thesis is developed with the guidance of a doctoral supervisory team allocated at the start of the DBA programme. The structured nature of the College’s DBA programme helps students make an original contribution to knowledge in their chosen academic area and field of practice.
The College’s DBA programme is based around five taught modules followed by an extended thesis. The College’s DBA is designed to allow for successful completion in three years.
