Global business complexity demands leaders who combine doctoral-level analytical capability with deep international commercial experience — a rare combination that the Rushford DBA is specifically designed to develop. This online DBA (3 years, 180 ECTS) from Rushford Business School, Switzerland covers international trade, cross-cultural management, global strategy, and applied research. Graduates pursue senior executive roles in multinational corporations, international trade bodies, development banks, and academic institutions.
The programme combines a business management foundation — managerial skills, leadership, managerial economics, accounting, and strategic management — with an international business specialisation and a doctoral research track. Candidates develop advanced knowledge of multinational enterprise strategy, political risk analysis, FDI decision-making, international trade law, global value chain management, and cross-cultural leadership — supported by doctoral-level research methodology training. The research component enables candidates to conduct original inquiry into international business challenges — such as market entry strategy in emerging economies, ESG in global supply chains, or post-merger integration in cross-border deals — generating insights of academic and professional value. Being an EduQua Certified institution, member of ACBSP and IACBE, this Rushford DBA is ideal for senior executives in global business who wish to combine their international experience with the intellectual rigour of doctoral study.
