دكتوراه إدارة الأعمال. DBA at Imperial University in Cairo: 4 assessed courses, 360 credits and 3,600 notional learning hours, at 10 hours per credit. The hours on each course add up to that total. The award is fully online. There is no campus to attend. DBA is taught as one award, not a list of unrelated modules. The published length is 36 months, and the credit total is 360. Students move from Research design in DBA through Research design in DBA; Literature in DBA; Fieldwork and analysis in DBA; Thesis in DBA, and finish on Thesis in DBA. Each course has a question, a method, and a submission. In this field, students apply the method of the subject to a defined problem and defend the result. Reading is a core text, a case or dataset, and a critique. The artefact a marker expects is a submission that shows the method, the evidence, and the limit of the claim. The award is built so that a graduate can do the following in practice: Produce a professional file in DBA Choose a method and write what the evidence cannot support Keep a record a third party can review Teaching assumes the student can read a source, attempt a problem before the seminar, and revise after feedback. Attendance at live seminars is part of the design. The capstone or final course must use the methods of the earlier courses; a project that ignores them does not pass. The pages for each course name the topics that are examined. Those topics are the syllabus. A brochure line is not a substitute for them.
Each credit is 10 notional learning hours. The courses add up to 360 credits and 3,600 hours.

| S7YXW01 | Research design in DBA Research design in DBA (S7YXW01) is a 90-credit course on DBA, with 900 notional learning hours. By the end, students can apply the method of the subject to a defined problem and defend the result, using Research design in DBA as the working context rather than a generic management example. The course is taught in three movements. First, students establish the terms and the decision the course is about. Second, they apply the method to a case, dataset, text, or design and compare it with a weaker alternative. Third, they revise the work after feedback and state what the conclusion cannot support. Preparation uses a core text, a case or dataset, and a critique. Seminar time is for the decision, not for reading the materials aloud. Assessment is a submission that shows the method, the evidence, and the limit of the claim. A pass requires a clear method, evidence a marker can check, and an explicit limit. Credit is not awarded for summary alone.
