The initial duration of the DBA program in Montblanc is 3 years, with the possibility of an extension of additional 3 years, according to several factors. We consider elements such as the research question, the topic, the candidates' network, the chosen research methodology, the availability of the participant, the chosen languages, and the candidates' language proficiency and writing ability. Those elements can all influence the length of the program.
