Latest research news
WBS researchers work in partnership with policy and practice to ensure both relevance and practical application. Learn more about some of our research partnerships.
Our PhD courses will enable you to experience independent thinking in a world-class interdisciplinary environment allowing you to develop and deepen your chosen area of research. We value our doctoral researchers and aim to attract students from across the globe who are independent thinkers, restless to learn more and challenge themselves.
The DBA is equivalent in stature to a PhD, but distinct in that you pursue applied research rather than theoretical knowledge. The goal of the DBA is to design organisational interventions which help address real world challenges, and then to evaluate, assess and test the effectiveness of those interventions, and to communicate the findings so that both the world of practice and the world of research can benefit.
