International students can apply for this programme but will not be issued a student visa. This is because four modules on this course are delivered in one and two week blocks of face to face teaching. The remainder of the course is delivered online.
The DBA is regarded as being the same status as the more commonly known PhD and permits you to use the title of ‘Dr.’ upon satisfactory completion.
As a professional doctorate, the DBA consists of two Stages: Stage 1 a taught programme taken on a part-time basis over a two-year period, followed by Stage 2, a research programme which you should aim to complete in a further two-year period of part-time study although the maximum period of study is seven years.
