Careers for Business Administration (Professional Doctorate) DBA

The DBA is for individuals who are already operating at a management or executive level.

A DBA is a step above the MBA and positions individuals as skilled leaders. It draws upon existing knowledge, skills and experience from work experience.

For many people, it is a way to progress in a similar role or within their existing organisation. For some, this can be a driver of change in their career where they want to move into more general management or senior, executive leadership roles.

The Association of MBAs (AMBA) states that the median salary for DBA graduates is around the £150k mark.

While this will depend on your sector and role function, we are confident that this level of education can open up some of the most senior-level roles in organisations.
