The Rushford Doctor of Business Management (DBM) is an intensive 180 ECTS credits doctoral programme meticulously crafted to empower business students, managers, practitioners, and leaders with advanced knowledge, research acumen, and analytical skills tailored for the resolution of intricate business challenges. This DBM initiative is designed to instil a profound transformative learning experience, cultivating enhanced research skills and a distinct perspective on business situations. The overarching goal is to enable participants to apply sophisticated research methods, facilitating solutions that drive organizational efficiency, growth, and long-term sustainability.
This flexible yet rigorous programme is accessible entirely online, allowing students to determine their own pace of completion.
