The 2017 DBA Symposium will provide an ideal opportunity for:
- Current researchers on DBA programmes to discuss their doctoral research in a supportive setting
- Faculty involved in managing, teaching and assessing DBA and executive doctorates to share best practice and build a sustainable DBA network.
This is a great opportunity to meet and discuss issues relating to the DBA programme and gain insight into multiple perspectives.
Speakers will include faculty with extensive experience of DBA provision as well as alumni who have successfully graduated from DBA programmes.

Each structured submission should include:

• research questions
• proposed or actual methodology (depending on stage of doctorate)
