Join us for our latest webinar with the BAM Early Career Academics Network, which provides our community members who are doing their PhD whilst undertaking a full time/part time academic job with insights into how it could be done.
This session provides our community with insights from Dr David Gordon, Associate Professor of Marketing, from De Montfort University to put the spotlight on doing a DBA as opposed to the traditional route of a PhD.
With this session we aim to provide a tailored session for our community members that are current undertaking a DBA degree, as well as those interested in what a DBA is, or would like to pursue a DBA in the future. Dr Gordon will discuss the challenges, hidden facts, and unspoken rules of the experience.
