Director's Message

The HKBU DBA is a professional doctorate programme that transforms practitioners into experts and scholars – people who are apt at meeting the future of business challenges by combining theories with flawless execution. HKBU DBA is the Chamber that houses the Wisdom where prominent practitioners meet world-class scholars, where practical wisdom meets theoretical insights, and where subjectivity meets rationality. 
 
The DBA programme gives senior executives and professionals the opportunity to surmount rigorous academic challenges, to further develop their analytical and research skills, to broaden and deepen their management knowledge, and to re-evaluate their own management’s practices in light of the latest research on management and business.
 
Today, the business world increasingly demands ethical leaders to be fluent with the advanced management methods for analysing and solving complex global problems. By fostering strategic creativity, change leadership, decision-making and management skills, our DBA Programme ensures that our graduates become the thought leaders of their industries. 
 
The programme’s supportive approach helps DBA candidates achieve their doctoral qualification within a defined period. Candidates will study and research under the guidance and supervision of experienced and world-class faculty members in School of Business, supported by leading faculty from around the world. The curriculum is also supplemented by a series of value-added professional development workshops, which adds a practical element to this unique educational experience.
 
The highly selective intake and small size of the programme ensures that each DBA candidate receives individual support and mentoring. Candidates also benefit from supports from fellow DBA candidates - a diverse group of rising business leaders.
 
If you are a professional seeking an exciting, life-altering educational experience that may transform your life, join us now and embark on this intellectual journey to be part of our Chamber of Wisdom!
