The objective of the Doctoral programme is to demonstrate the ability of the student to do professional level research. The basic philosophy of the programme is that the student is professionally oriented and possesses the intellectual ability to understand and integrate information for purposes of research, planning and managing in the business world. The programme is designed to develop these abilities to the fullest potential.
The duration of this programme is three years. PhD students should allocate the final year for the Dissertation, whereas DBA students the last 4-6 months.

| Programme requirements for completion: | 60 quarter units. No transfer of credit available. |
Assessment of this programme is carried out by assignments for each course, plus a Thesis or Dissertation. When all other requirements are complete students are also expected to defend their Thesis/Dissertation by a Viva Voce.
Students have the option of choosing which of the two programmes to follow. Both programmes are of equal rigour and require the same level of commitment. As the first three core courses are common to both streams, students can defer their decision as to which of the two programmes to follow until they have completed these three courses. Those wishing to follow the PhD will proceed with the completion of 4 further courses from the electives list, before they start their Dissertation. DBA students need to do 7 courses from the Electives list before they do the Thesis.
