Careers and opportunities for Global DBA graduates

    When you join our online Global DBA programme, you'll experience an intensive taught phase before conducting applied, work-based research that deals with topics directly relevant to your organisation. 

    This means that, as you learn, you'll develop the professional knowledge and skills needed to help address actual challenges in your workplace – benefiting both your employers and your own career. 

    Professional progression options

    As the Global DBA programme is designed to familiarise you with an array of advanced business and management topics, your education will prepare you to succeed in a wide spectrum of job roles. 

    Upon graduating, you’ll be well-equipped to continue working in your current field and apply your learnings to unlock new opportunities for yourself within your organisation. 

    Alternatively, you can use your research skills and specialist knowledge to secure a position in a different business, or even start your own consultancy practice.
