DBA UK. 4 assessed courses, 3,600 notional hours, tuition-free.
Online or on campus
DBA UK. DBA Applied Management at University of Brigant: 4 assessed courses, 360 credits and 3,600 notional learning hours, at 10 hours per credit. The hours on each course add up to that total. Seminars run online. An Edinburgh campus route is published separately from this online award. DBA Applied Management is taught as one award, not a list of unrelated modules. The published length is 36 months, and the credit total is 360. Students move from Research design in Applied Management through Research design in Applied Management; Literature in Applied Management; Fieldwork and analysis in Applied Management; Thesis in Applied Management, and finish on Thesis in Applied Management. Each course has a question, a method, and a submission. In this field, students diagnose one organisation and carry a decision through to a recommendation. Reading is a case, a short financial extract, and a stakeholder note. The artefact a marker expects is a consulting brief a manager could use. The award is built so that a graduate can do the following in practice: Produce a professional file in Applied Management Choose a method and write what the evidence cannot support Keep a record a third party can review Teaching assumes the student can read a source, attempt a problem before the seminar, and revise after feedback. Attendance at live seminars is part of the design. The capstone or final course must use the methods of the earlier courses; a project that ignores them does not pass. The pages for each course name the topics that are examined. Those topics are the syllabus. A brochure line is not a substitute for them.
Each credit is 10 notional learning hours. The courses add up to 360 credits and 3,600 hours.

| SUEB801 | Research design in Applied Management Research design in Applied Management (SUEB801) is a 90-credit course on DBA Applied Management, with 900 notional learning hours. By the end, students can diagnose one organisation and carry a decision through to a recommendation, using Research design in Applied Management as the working context rather than a generic management example. The course is taught in three movements. First, students establish the terms and the decision the course is about. Second, they apply the method to a case, dataset, text, or design and compare it with a weaker alternative. Third, they revise the work after feedback and state what the conclusion cannot support. Preparation uses a case, a short financial extract, and a stakeholder note. Seminar time is for the decision, not for reading the materials aloud. Assessment is a consulting brief a manager could use. A pass requires a clear method, evidence a marker can check, and an explicit limit. Credit is not awarded for summary alone.
