The DBA degree is designed to provide business leaders, and professionals an opportunity to pursue the next step beyond their MBA or equivalent qualification. The proposed DBA will be equivalent in stature to a Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) degree, but distinct in that candidates pursue applied research rather than theoretical knowledge. The goal of the DBA is to design organizational interventions which help address real-world challenges, and then to evaluate, assess and test the effectiveness of those interventions, and communicate the findings so that both the world of practice and the world of research can benefit. In this way, the DBA candidates are expected to generate new knowledge – the ultimate criterion for the award of a Doctoral degree.
This programme will enhance capacity of candidates to take innovative and challenging business decisions.
Under the DBA programme participants will undertake research-based studies under direct supervision. Limited places available. The DBA is currently registered under FHEC.
The University of Fiji is inviting applications for admission of new students in the Doctor of Business Administration (DBA) in Semester 2, starting from August 2022.
