Doing academically sound research with relevance to business and society is core to the being of our school. Together with our two parent universities - Ghent University and KU Leuven – we train and guide our DBA participants to turn their executive experience to academic-based knowledge, ideas and insights with real business impact.

Get inspired by our researchers - who are actively engaged in the wider community - and benefit from their knowledge to transform your corporate data into a research-based business case which can be immediately implemented into your own business. Together we’ll improve your research skills and put high emphasis on fostering an international mindset, on openness to the outside world, on multiculturalism and on the societal relevance of your research.

Rigorous and Relevant is the catchphrase to describe our School’s values: we are renowned for the analytical rigour in our research and education, but always in interplay with practical relevance and high impact on the corporate world and economic policy making. Joining the Doctorate in Business Administration is therefore an excellent way to pursue these twin objectives.
