Overview
Universities around the globe have extended doctoral studies to these professional doctorates for many good reasons. Industries are very interested in such graduates, and the results of their job applications demonstrate this, as DBA Degree skills and capabilities go beyond any Master’s graduate. At the same time, these doctoral graduates are practice-oriented. Consequentially, they are the first-choice candidates for top-management positions. On the other hand, and without any doubt, Ph.D. studies have not lost their reason and attractiveness.
The Doctor of Business Administration (Madrid Campus) at Swiss School of Management addresses business, economy, and management research. The dissertation can be oriented by the student’s personal interest and based on their personal work environment. At the end of these studies, students are awarded the title of “Doctor of Business Administration (DBA).”
