No Fixed Class Times—Study on Your Schedule
Your time is your most valuable asset. This DBA does not require your online presence at specific times and dates. Instead, you access learning materials, discussions, and faculty feedback when it suits you, so you can integrate study into demanding workweeks and personal commitments without compromise.
Asynchronous learning means you can engage deeply, reflect thoughtfully, and produce higher-quality work. You’ll participate in rich academic dialogue with faculty and peers around the world—on your timetable.
Study Anywhere—Even Offline—with Our Mobile App

This level of mobility empowers consistency. Keep your momentum with micro-study sessions, listen to lectures like podcasts, and interact with course content whenever inspiration strikes. The result is steady progress and a learning experience that adapts to you, not the other way around.
Open-Book Assessments that Reflect Real-World Decision-Making
Instead of classical question/answer exams, this programme uses open-book assessments designed to mirror executive practice. You’ll synthesise evidence, apply frameworks, and articulate courses of action—exactly as you would in senior leadership roles where resources and research are tools for better decisions.
Open-book does not mean easier; it means more authentic. You’ll be challenged to analyse, evaluate, and create—demonstrating not just what you remember, but how you think. That’s the mark of a doctoral professional: wise judgment informed by rigorous inquiry.
