Doctor of Business Administration (DBA)

In the UK, a Doctor of Business Administration (DBA) is considered equivalent to a PhD, although both are doctoral-level qualifications. The primary distinction lies in their focus and purpose. A PhD is research-oriented and aims to contribute original knowledge to academic fields. It often involves theoretical research and is intended for those pursuing careers in academia or research.


On the other hand, a DBA is more practice-oriented, and designed for experienced professionals looking to apply research to real-world business challenges. It emphasizes practical application and is aligned with managerial practice rather than purely theoretical exploration.
