Develop at the same time your researcher, innovator and entrepreneurial mindset
with 10 new business and personal skills!
Throughout your Doctoral journey with BSL, you will not only earn a Doctoral level academic degree, but you will develop business and personal skills.
From the business point of view, you will also develop new business skills and develop further already existing business skills to a level that no other type of executive program can provide. A Doctoral journey is also a path toward personal development and transformation.
How is that so?
The process of conducting doctoral-level research is a unique experience in a career and in life, hence it leads to a profound professional and personal transformation.
A research degree cannot be compared to anything that you might have experienced so far.
Knowledge acquisition in Academia is mostly course-based, while at BSL our DBA degree gives you a unique opportunity to experience research-based knowledge acquisition.
Hence you will develop new working skills, becoming the owner of your own continuous learning process.
