The Doctor of Business Administration (DBA) programme is designed for current and emerging
leaders who are looking to drive systemic change in their organization. These leaders include
individuals who currently hold or are seeking managerial positions in professional organisations.
The course will enable students to become efficiently equipped with all the necessary skills and
knowledge in order to advance in international organizations and achieve positive results
when operating in executive positions.
Each Doctoral student must take a number of online modules and also complete a dissertation.
Students must defend their dissertation in a “viva voce” (oral) examination which can be
completed online. The viva voce examination is an intense and challenging experience, but we
offer relevant guidance and support to help our research students prepare for this important milestone.

all students undertake, typically under the guidance of their assigned dissertation supervisor.

seamlessly integrated ecosystem of technology that provides the digital infrastructure to
support online learning. By studying online or through blended learning, students can
achieve their academic goals anytime, anywhere, regardless of their family and/or

Because of Unicaf’s online platform, students can continue pursuing their studies in cases of crises,
lockdowns, strikes or a force majeure that may force universities to suspend on-campus teaching.

Additionally, students who live remotely can save time and money by not commuting or travelling
to and from campus daily in order to attend classes. They can continue to work and ‘earn as they
learn’ from the comfort of their home, without putting their careers on hold.

Unicaf digital platform, students have 24/7 access to study materials and to an extensive e-library with
thousands of volumes to research and study at their convenience.
