which local college offering?

IMO, DBA is for those who have adequate working experience or have run their biz for say 10 years and above, as such the individual will be able to link the pratical experience and thories together.

Dont go for DBA if u r fresh grads or have limited working exp.

Thanks for the input. For my case, with 15 years of working experience, I m more into the DBA instead of Phd (pure research type). Phd is more suitable for those who like research very much. I hv almost finish my MBA with UM, we hv few lecturers are with DBA qualifications. They can teach better IMO, as most of them who take DBA have industrial experience, and can relates the theory to the real world better than those Phd that hv not worked in private sector. For example how can u teach entrepreneurship subject if u r not an entrepreneur?

Some institution like INCEIF offering their Phd on both coursework and research mode. For coursework mode u study 12 subjects (70%) and then a dissertation (30%), and end of the day u still get a Phd title in Islamic finance.
So the difference between phd and dba is getting lesser.

usually DBA no majoring.
for PHD u can research in Strategic Managment topic.

For Phd in business related field i will prefer UM, the highest ranked among the public university in Malaysia. World top 200 univesity by QS, and the fee is still within the affordable range.

How cheap??? what abt quality? as it translate into if what u paid is value for money??

Which majoring/ area you intend to do?

FYI, the University of South Australia already discontinue the program with ITD..

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.

UM published the fees in their website.
