The Executive DBA Program is structured into three phases:
Phase 1: Core seminars to acquire knowledge and learn research methodologies. Students will also define their thesis topic in consultation with professors.
Phase 2: Writing the initial stages of the thesis with supervision from Montblanc Business School's Scientific Committee.
Phase 3: Writing the final version of the thesis and preparing for the mock defense.
The program culminates with the defense of the thesis during the Annual International Week, which takes place during the last week of September in a selected country. Upon successful completion, students will receive both the Executive DBA from Montblanc Business School.
The length of the program depends on the student's availability, research capabilities, and writing skills.
Each module is evaluated through research projects, presentations, and thesis quality. The final thesis evaluation is based on external examiner reports, written thesis quality, and oral defense.
