If you plan to join the academia, PhD is the better option.

Recently, my institution received a government Form from MOHE for the Dean to fill up the particulars of all of the staff. In one of the questions in the form, the Dean was required to fill in the number of academic staff with PhD qualification. Furthermore, it specifically stated down that those with DBA or coursework doctoral qualifications are not counted. Only those with research based doctoral degrees/PhD are to be included.

I can't remember what's that Form for. I guess it's just some KPI forms for the institution to be sent to MOHE.

I don't think it is limited. All public universities in Malaysia offer PhDs.

Hi there,

I saw on a UCSI University brochure that they offer a DBA course. It said that it will equip you with theory and practical use, aswell as other skills from this programme. Maybe have a look if it isn't on the website.

Hi cutiepooh,

To answer your question, if you are 100% certain for an Academic Career, PHD is your choice. DBA might only limits your success in an Academic Environment.

However, to counter argue that statement, the Assistant Professor/Deputy Dean (Business School) from UniRazak holds a DBA degree from Australia. He was recently nominated as the lead writer for the Entrepreneurship Global Report for 2012. (Click here - Dr Roland)

Interms of opportunity and salary scale in the Academic Industry, fresh DBA holders are offer competitive salary.
For example, Swinburne University of Technology (Sarawak) is offering minimum Rm6000 for Doctorate holders (PhD & DBA). (Click here - Swinburne Uni's Salary Scale)
Please note: Taylor's, Monash, Nottingham & Public Universities accept both Doctorate (PhD & DBA) as equal.

All the best. Good luck.

Cheers.

That might be true. But don't 100% believe what those professors told you. They tend to market their uni and wants more students to enroll, especially private uni.
Sure the more doctorate they can produce, they better they are. Though I'm not sure about the quality of those thesis. I know lecturers from local uni that admitted they don't really expect much from those doing part time doctorate due to their focus on work. And those that ask me a favor to analyze their research are mostly part timers.

I have a friend who just graduated from OUM Engineering PhD programme. The criteria for graduation is very simple: need to have a few journal publications. Not just any journal, but international, cited journals (Thomson, Scopus) etc. He has published 3 journal papers and 3 international conference papers. So now you know the kind of quality expected of their thesis. Even some main stream universities phd grad can't match that. you want proof, just go to here to see their effort in publication (is not exhaustive):

University Malaya ( and other 4 research public universities in Msia) are also the same.
For Science stream, at least 2 publications in an ISI ranked journals.
For social Science/ Arts, at least 1 publication in ISI, or 2 publications in Category A/B journals.
