Doctoral programmes in demand
DUBAI - Leading global educational institutions are opening their doors for doctoral students in the UAE as renewed emphasis on regional research has created a need for skilled intellectuals.
The Manchester Business School’s (MBS) global programme admits only 30 students per year worldwide and there are currently 15 students from the region in the programme, mostly based in the UAE.
“A decade ago, there was a boom in MBA programmes and now the region is looking for highly qualified and experienced professionals which has lead to an increase in the number of applications for doctoral programmes,” says Randa Bessiso, director, MBS Middle East.
The DBA programme is an extension of the MBA programme, with its emphasis on the application of knowledge to research issues.
“The DBA programme is highly specialised and intended for very experienced and senior business people, who are looking to undertake an original piece of serious research,” adds Randa.
Through the DBA programme, senior business practitioners undertake research work, while continuing to work in a real business environment.
“Doctoral programmes provide a sense of intellectual stimulation and students look for personal growth when undertaking these programmes. Throughout the journey of research, students realise how things are done differently and the research they do helps establish them as an expert in a particular field,” says Professor Jikyeong Kang, DBA programme director at Manchester Business School (MBS).
The DBA programme combines self-study with residential workshops at the Manchester Business School campus in the UK. The programme is delivered using a blend of self study and face-to-face teaching in year one, providing solid foundations for refined research methods in order to carry out research of a commercial nature.
The DBA typically takes four to five years to complete, offering flexibility for working professionals.“It is important to create an environment where students can exchange ideas and network with like-minded individuals to enhance their learning experience at the doctoral level,” adds Professor Jikyeong.
