Mada University for Science & Technology is enrolling for the DBA Doctor of Business Administration, a doctoral program taught in English, normally completed in 3 years. It is taught fully online and is tuition-free, so students can study from Riyadh or anywhere else without relocating.
It is built for experienced professionals and researchers who want to answer a question that matters in their field, under close supervision. The program sits close to the heart of Mada's portfolio in science, technology, computing and applied management.
Students study strategy, finance, marketing and operations, taught through cases drawn from American and international organizations, so that every model is tested against a decision a real manager has had to make.
Candidates submit a research proposal at application, follow a supervised plan with formal progress reviews, and finish with a thesis and an oral defence.
Every enrolled student receives an @madauni.com account with Microsoft 365, plus Canva and Notion for presentations, business plans and research notes. None of the software needed to finish the program costs the student anything.
Applications are read on a rolling basis. Applicants can review the program page, check fees and start an application at /apply; the form saves from the first step.
Mada University for Science & Technology (جامعة مدى للعلوم والتكنولوجيا) was founded in 2010 and teaches from Dubai, United Arab Emirates, with tuition-free online degrees open to students in the United States and abroad.
