MSc Management Research / Doctor of Business Administration: Advance from Miami, United States

Build the next chapter of your career without leaving Miami. Offered online in exclusive partnership between the University of Salford and Robert Kennedy College, the MSc Management Research / Doctor of Business Administration gives you space to investigate complex business challenges, develop your research skills and apply management theory in an international context.

Earn an internationally recognised British degree

A British degree can be a valuable credential when your ambitions extend beyond one city or country. This programme offers an academic path grounded in research, critical thinking and the study of management.

For professionals in Miami’s internationally connected economy, that perspective can help you communicate your expertise across borders and approach unfamiliar business challenges with confidence.

Complete your studies 100% online in as little as four years

There is no need to relocate or put your life in Miami on hold. The programme can be completed entirely online in as little as four years, allowing you to pursue an advanced qualification alongside your existing commitments.

That timeframe offers a route from your first research questions to a substantial doctoral project. Your progress will depend on your circumstances, but you can work towards a meaningful academic goal while remaining connected to your career and community.

Study without fixed online attendance times

Your working day may not fit neatly around a scheduled online class. The programme does not require you to be online at specific times and dates, giving you greater freedom to plan your studies around meetings, family life and other responsibilities.

Use the hours when you can focus best to engage with lectures, reading and research. Whether that means studying early in the morning or after a busy day, the learning experience is designed to fit around you.

Take your learning wherever you go

Although you can study from Miami, your learning does not have to stay there. The online format lets you keep working towards your qualification from anywhere in the world, including when business or personal travel takes you away from home.

Through the mobile app, you can download study materials and watch lectures offline. A flight or a period without a reliable connection need not interrupt your opportunity to engage with the course.

Explore ideas through open-book assessments

Instead of classical question-and-answer exams, the programme uses open-book assessments. This approach gives you the opportunity to consult relevant material as you develop and support your responses.

For a research-focused qualification, the value lies in how thoughtfully you examine a problem, assess evidence and build an argument. These are skills you can carry into complex decisions throughout your career.

Learn from internationally educated faculty

Engage with tutors and faculty whose academic backgrounds include world-renowned institutions such as Oxford, Harvard, EPFL, the University of Basel and Washington University in St. Louis.

Their varied educational experiences can bring a breadth of perspectives to your studies. As you refine your ideas and research, you can learn within an academic community that values rigorous thinking and intellectual curiosity.

Join a network that reaches across borders

Students from more than 130 countries bring a wide range of professional and cultural perspectives to the learning community. Those connections can broaden the way you think about management questions and how organisations operate internationally.

Alumni work for international organisations including Goldman Sachs, Citigroup, Chevron, Verizon, JW Marriott, The Ritz-Carlton, Hilton, the University of California, Riverside, Abbott Laboratories, AbbVie, the United Nations, Google, the ICRC, the World Bank, Microsoft, Intel, Samsung, Tencent, Siemens and Sony.

Plan your payments with interest-free instalments

Investing in an advanced qualification is a significant decision. The programme’s fees can be paid in up to 18 monthly interest-free instalments, offering a way to spread the cost.

That payment structure can make it easier to plan alongside your other commitments. You can focus on choosing the right time to begin and on the research ambitions you want to pursue.

Put your research ambitions to work in Miami

Miami’s role as a gateway for trade and logistics creates opportunities to examine questions with international relevance. If you work with supply chains, transport or cross-border operations, doctoral research can help you investigate challenges such as resilience, organisational change and decision-making across markets.

The city’s finance and professional services sectors offer another setting for research-led thinking. You might explore how organisations navigate digital transformation, manage risk or lead teams serving clients across the Americas—questions that can draw on management theory while remaining relevant well beyond Miami.

Miami is also home to major hospitality, healthcare and growing technology activity. Whether your interests lie in service innovation, leadership or the adoption of new ways of working, the programme offers a way to develop a research question connected to your professional experience and applicable in an international context.
