Bellerbys College provides a high-quality British education that is tailor-made for international students and trusted by universities. Our two specialist colleges help students make the best university choice for them.

It is the professional equivalent of the academic Ph.D. (Doctor of Philosophy) but designed specifically to support participants in undertaking practice-based research into their workplace activities. While the knowledge gained from this research is equally rigorous to the Ph.D., it is distinctive in that the participant is placed at the center of their research investigation, and their findings tend to be highly applicable within their organization and within their community of professional practice.

Because senior professionals have achieved a significant amount of both formal and informal learning, sometimes over many years, the DBA provides an opportunity to make a claim for academic credits against relevant prior learning, including research knowledge and expertise. The DBA focuses on developing participants’ individual capabilities as reflective practitioners, and through this enhancing their capability for undertaking high-level, practice-based research within their own workplace.
