Course Structure
Each DBA research degree student is supported by supervisors assigned to the particular area of study. Supervisors will be experts in the subject area, with a mutual interest in the particular study. They will be active researchers themselves with a wealth of experience in supervising postgraduate research.
The structure consists of six ‘taught’ elements and a thesis which intends to develop your expertise in the use of research in order to explore professional practice. Stage one and Stage two are taught in a block release fashion, whereas Stage three is to be done in your own time with support and supervision.
