Lead Further: Doctor of Business Administration from Stockholm, Sweden

Build on your professional experience without leaving the life and career you have established in Stockholm. The Doctor of Business Administration, offered online in an exclusive partnership between the University of Gloucestershire and Robert Kennedy College, gives experienced professionals the opportunity to explore business challenges through advanced research and internationally applicable theory.

Earn a British degree with international recognition

A British doctoral degree can be a powerful addition to your professional profile. Awarded by the University of Gloucestershire, this DBA offers a recognised academic credential that can support conversations about leadership, research and business strategy across borders.

Whether your ambitions lie in Stockholm or beyond Sweden, the degree gives you a way to demonstrate advanced study alongside your professional achievements. Its research-led perspective can help you examine complex decisions with greater depth and confidence.

Study 100% online in as little as three years

The programme can be completed entirely online in as little as three years. You can pursue doctoral study while continuing to live and work in Stockholm, without relocating to attend a campus.

Online delivery makes it easier to bring sustained academic work into an established professional life. You can develop your research over time while remaining connected to the responsibilities and opportunities that matter to you.

Learn without scheduled online attendance

You do not need to be online at specific times and dates to attend classes. Instead, you can engage with learning materials at times that work around your job, family life and other commitments.

For a professional whose working day may include meetings across time zones, this flexibility can make doctoral study more practical. You can plan your learning sessions around your own schedule while keeping your long-term research goals in view.

Take your studies wherever you go

Study from Stockholm, elsewhere in Sweden or anywhere your work and travels take you. Through the mobile app, you can download study materials and watch lectures offline, making it possible to keep learning even when an internet connection is unavailable.

A journey can become time for reflection, reading or revisiting a lecture. Your progress does not have to depend on staying in one place: your learning can travel with you.

Show your thinking through open-book assessments

The programme uses open-book assessments instead of classical question-and-answer exams. This approach gives you the opportunity to work with learning resources as you develop and communicate your ideas.

Rather than focusing on recall under exam conditions, you can concentrate on interpreting concepts, building arguments and connecting research with challenging business questions. It is an opportunity to show not only what you know, but how you think.

Learn with internationally educated faculty

Programme tutors and faculty include graduates of world-renowned institutions such as Oxford, Harvard, EPFL, the University of Basel and Washington University in St. Louis. Their varied academic backgrounds bring a breadth of perspectives to your studies.

Engaging with experienced educators can help you question assumptions and sharpen your approach to research. As you develop your doctoral work, you can benefit from guidance informed by different disciplines and international academic traditions.

Join a global learning community

Robert Kennedy College has a diverse student base spanning more than 130 countries. Studying alongside professionals with different experiences can broaden how you see leadership, organisations and business challenges.

Its alumni work for international organisations and companies including the United Nations, Google, the ICRC, The World Bank, Microsoft, Intel, Samsung, Tencent, Siemens and Sony. These examples reflect the breadth of professional paths represented in the College community.

Plan your fees with monthly instalments

The programme’s fees can be paid in up to 18 monthly interest-free instalments. This gives you a way to spread payments across a defined period as you plan for doctoral study.

Clear payment options can make it easier to consider how the programme fits alongside your existing commitments. You can review the fee details as part of deciding when to take your next step.

Bring a doctoral perspective to Stockholm’s industries

Stockholm’s technology and digital-business community offers experienced professionals a rich setting for asking questions about growth, innovation and organisational change. A DBA research project could help you examine a challenge you encounter in a technology company, from scaling operations to leading teams through transformation.

The city’s fintech and financial-services sectors also present opportunities to explore how organisations respond to changing customer expectations, new technologies and complex decisions. Advanced business research can help you frame these questions carefully and develop insights that may be useful in your professional context.

For those working across life sciences, clean technology or sustainability-focused businesses, the programme can support a deeper examination of strategy, collaboration and implementation. Wherever your career takes you next, the ability to investigate a problem rigorously and communicate your findings can help you contribute with greater purpose.
