Overview

The Doctorate in Business Administration programme at IPAG Business School  is a 100% online programme aimed at high-level managers with a Master's degree or equivalent and at least five years' professional experience. It aims to develop critical thinking and research with a strong societal and managerial impact. The DBA is aimed at experienced managers who intend to have an impact on their organisation and on society by exploiting on academic research to solve concrete organisational problems.

Career development

The Doctorate in Business Administration (DBA) is designed for experienced professionals who seek not only to deepen their managerial knowledge but also to develop the ability to conduct rigorous research in order to innovate and address real-world business challenges.

This degree prepares individuals for leadership positions and for making a meaningful impact within organizations and across industries.

  • Executive and Strategic Roles in Business:

The DBA provides enhanced legitimacy and expertise for high-responsibility positions. Graduates are well-equipped to assume leadership roles within executive committees.

  • Consulting Roles:

Many DBA graduates pursue careers in consulting, where they leverage their expertise and advanced knowledge to help organizations tackle complex issues and improve overall performance.

  • Teaching and Research Positions in Business Schools:

The DBA also paves the way for an academic career, often in the capacity of a Professor of Practice or as a research-active faculty member in national or international business schools.

Programme Structure

Curriculum: 

  • During the first year of the DBA, students will follow five courses that will enable them to acquire the fundamentals of business and management. They will also be prepared for the various research methodologies.
  • This first year will also be used to prepare a research project, which will be validated by a supervisor.
  • The second phase of our doctoral programme is spread over two years. Students will devote this period, firstly, to carrying out their fieldwork. 
  • Then, in the second phase, they will process the data, understand and interpret the results and write their thesis (including a section dedicated to the theoretical, managerial and societal contributions of the research) under the supervision of their research supervisor.
