Discover the Doctorate of Business Administration

In few words

The ESC Clermont Business School’s DBA has been designed around several ambitions.

An academic ambition, first of all, since the School and its partners aim to bring DBA participants, professionals and students alike, into the world of management science research in an international context.

Secondly, it is a scientific ambition, since this programme aims to bring together major theories in management sciences and business practices, and to enable, through appropriate support, monitoring and research framework, the conduct of research that directly concerns the professional activity of participants and the problems of their organisation.

Finally, a shared ambition of educational commitment: that of university partners who position themselves on the international scene and of populations who wish to have access to very high level training courses that are recognised throughout the world.
