The most effective organisations are those that treat people management as a strategic discipline — and a Rushford DBA in HRM signals doctoral-level mastery of that discipline. This online DBA (3 years, 180 ECTS) from Rushford Business School, Switzerland advances expertise in talent strategy, organisational behaviour, workforce analytics, HRM research methods, and leadership. Graduates assume Chief People Officer, HR director, and senior HR consultancy roles, or contribute as scholars in business schools.
The programme combines a business management core — managerial skills, leadership, managerial economics, accounting, and strategic management — with an HRM specialisation and a rigorous doctoral research track. Candidates deepen their knowledge of strategic human resource management, employment law, talent acquisition and retention, diversity and inclusion strategy, HR technology, organisational psychology, and the economics of labour markets. The research methodology track develops doctoral competency in qualitative, quantitative, and mixed methods research, enabling candidates to conduct original HRM research relevant to their professional context and contribute findings of value to practitioners and academics alike. Being an EduQua Certified institution, member of ACBSP and IACBE, this Rushford DBA is one of the highest qualification available for HR professionals committed to advancing both their practice and the field.
