4 THE DBA (Only available for study in the English Language) Theory and Practicality. Research and Business. A Doctorate in Business Administration is the bridge that brings these vital disciplines together. Equivalent to a PhD, our DBA will allow you to use research methods to define, research and evaluate issues facing your Organisation. The programme demands intelligence, diligence and determination: the rewards, however, can be significant for your career and your Organisation. STRUCTURE The DBA has three distinct stages.

To join the DBA Programme, you must have five years experience and a relevant Masters degree - either an MBA or an business and management subject(s), or a relevant PhD. All DBA students must be fluent in the English Language. There is no fixed start date for the DBA Programme; you can apply and commence your studies at any time of the year. THE COURSE STAGE Once accepted onto the programme, you must first complete the three courses titled Introduction to Business Research 1, 2 and 3. These will help you understand the research process: Introduction to Business Research 1 gives you a basic understanding of what research is and how it is carried out. It is particularly useful if you have not undertaken any Postgraduate research before. Introduction to Business Research 2 considers research methodology and literature review. It explains how to carry out a business-related literature review and then use it to develop a hypothesis or theory about a business issue.

5 Introduction to Business Research 3 concentrates on statistical techniques for data collection, analysis and drawing conclusions. Each course is assessed by a written three-hour examination. Pass these and you will go on to discuss your research interest with an Edinburgh Business School Senior Mentor and develop an outline of your proposed area of research. The Senior Mentor will then review your academic transcript and planned topic to decide which, if any, additional courses are required. You must successfully complete these additional subject courses, each of which requires around 200 hours of study. Course fees Each course in the Course stage is a subject to the prevailing course fee. You can find more information on: ebsglobal.net/programmes/self-studypathway-fee. For further details go to:
