ApplyAcademic Overview
DBA (European Bologna ECTS). DBA Applied Management at IU International University of Applied Sciences: 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. A Warsaw 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.
The degree is awarded directly by IU International University of Applied Sciences, seated in Warsaw, Poland. Studies are conducted in full alignment with Polish and European academic standards.
