The Dual Degree Doctor of Business Administration in Majors

2 doctor qualifications from UK and France

The Doctor of Business Administration (DBA) for 17 specializations is a dual degree program, a partnership between the UK’s national training system and Université Libérale de Paris (Paris-U). DBA is the highest academic and scientific degree available in Business Administration

The 17-major Doctor of Business Administration (DBA) curriculum emphasizes knowledge-intensive management and business administration research. It consists of two phases: (1) the learning phase and in-depth investigation of eight organizational modules, and (2) the research phase and the formation of a career-oriented, practical doctorate thesis.

Through the process of learning and research, students build not only research capacity (a required skill at the doctoral level), but also solid knowledge, depth of each enterprise activity, as a basis for in-depth research and teaching in each sector and subject that I am enthusiastic about.

After completing fundamental courses in business and management, the curriculum focuses on in-depth research to build a novel theory suitable to the student’s or teacher’s industry or sector of study or instruction.

In contrast to the PhD in Management degree, the DBA program emphasizes research that is highly applicable to the candidate’s chosen sector. Doctoral candidates are chosen (according to the list) to major in DBA following graduation. The major is shown directly on the degree and transcript.
