Executive DBA brochure

Course structure The programme contains nine residential weeks over a four-year period and seven deliverables, providing the structure and support to ensure that researchers continue to progress. These comprise nine separate teaching weeks focussing on research methods, coordinated and delivered at Cranfield School of Management. The research training and researcher development input is structured into weekly blocks enabling collaborative working over a concentrated period. The Doctoral Researchers Core Development training programme is designed to develop and optimise your research capability by leveraging the wealth of knowledge and resources available at Cranfield. Included are four elements: • Knowledge and intellectual abilities, • Personal effectiveness, • Research governance and organisation, • Engagement, influence and impact. Additional input is tailored to meet individual study requirements. DBA researchers are required to attend all residential weeks at Cranfield School of Management and the expected time commitment (in addition to the residential cohort/campus weeks) is approximately 15 - 20 hours per week.
