WHO’S IT FOR?

From entrepreneurs to CEOs, diplomats to consultants – our DBA candidates represent a diverse range of leadership backgrounds. All share a desire to collaborate, succeed and add to the knowledge of their field.

WHY OUR DBA?

With flexible study options on five continents, our DBA is a truly international learning experience. The program will deepen your theoretical and practical knowledge of international-level senior management. And it will give you a platform to share your expertise through teaching.

WHERE WILL IT TAKE YOU?

Our DBA prepares you for the complex analyses and decision-making required of senior management, and equips you for a career in top-level leadership positions.

The student view

I found it very helpful that you can break your coursework into manageable amounts so you can really focus on the coursework, but also continue to have a normal work and family life.

The culture at ISM facilitates success by motivating students while providing the individual support they may need.

Having an international DBA with ISM allows me to make an impact globally.

ISM offers flexibility without compromising the quality of the academic experience.
