Research and Higher Degree Programs


Research students have a special place at the University of Ballarat. With their new perspectives and energy, they work with us on a range of research projects, or sometimes, in the case of part-time students, along specific studies related to their own organisation.

Research higher degree studies require commitment and dedication, but students in the School of Business will find their studies rewarding and enjoyable. We provide continuous guidance and supervision from your first formulation of a research proposal to the completion of your thesis or dissertation, and strive to make sure you achieve your goals.

The School's Research and Higher Degree Programs include the following flexible higher degrees:

  • Master of Business (MBus)
  • Doctor of Business Administration (DBA)
  • Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)

These degrees are designed to meet the needs of practitioners as well as scholars with a purely academic interest. We understand that practitioners encounter complex real-world problems and we encourage cross-disciplinary studies.
