Doctor of Business Administration (DBA)
Specialising in an area of study enables you to lay claim to a unique ‘niche’ where your knowledge can be both recognised and applied, the Doctor of Business Administration (DBA) provides you with an opportunity to further develop and specialise in your key area/s of interest through a programme of supervised research that is designed to foster both scholarship and original thought.

Change and the development of people and talent within organisations is one of the key drivers of competitive advantage for contemporary organisations. Successful change management is becoming increasingly reliant on human resource professionals who are often at the cutting edge of change and development initiatives. The Master of Human Resources and Organisational Development (MHROD) is a specialist qualification that will uniquely place you in one of the growth areas of contemporary business and will enable you to ‘make a difference’ to both people and the organisations for which they work.

If you’re currently an accountant or even a non-accounting business professional with a keen interest in finance and accounting then the Master of Professional Accounting (MPA) programme may be the qualification for you.
