How to apply A research proposal will be required in addition to the application. The research proposal lets us assess your suitability for the programme and identify an appropriate supervisor. A good DBA proposal will include the following elements: • A clear summary of the practical problem you want to address in your research studies. • A research question articulating what you want to find out. • A summary of relevant academic literature, how this has influenced your thinking and how your research may add to it. • An initial research design indicating the methods you plan to use. When we receive your application, we will work to find a suitable supervisor and set up an initial informal discussion about your proposed research project and why you want to pursue a DBA. After selecting an appropriate supervisor, we will conduct a formal admissions interview to decide whether to offer you a place on the programme. Please submit your application on our website: www.cranfield.ac.uk/som/dba/apply We hold regular information sessions and DBA proposal writing workshops.
