About this Event

Discover the York St John University Doctorate in Business Administration (DBA) at our launch event with Professor Brendan Paddison, Dean of York Business School, and Programme Lead Dr Alexandra Dales.

This is your opportunity to learn how the DBA can help ambitious professionals drive meaningful change within their organisations.

Find out how this innovative programme combines applied research with advanced theoretical insight to develop reflective, impactful leaders.

A core focus of the DBA is sustainability, exploring how leadership, innovation, and technology can shape socially responsible and future-focused business practices.

Hear about the flexible two-stage structure, which integrates taught modules, global academic and business networks, and independent, work-based research.

You’ll see how participants progress from developing research expertise to completing an original doctoral thesis with the support of a dedicated programme team.

Ideal for experienced professionals across sectors, the DBA equips you with the knowledge and skills to meet today’s complex business challenges while advancing your career to the highest level.

Join us at the launch event to explore the programme in detail, meet the team, and find out how the DBA can elevate your professional future.


Events Access & Inclusivity

At York St John University we are committed to making our events as welcoming and inclusive for as many people as possible.

If you are planning to attend one of our events and have specific access requirements, including wheelchair access, then please contact us by e: [email protected] or t: 01904 876318 and we will make every effort to accommodate you.

If you need a suitable seat reserved for you (and your companions), please let us know, preferably at least one week before the event. Sign language interpreters and real-time captioning may be requested in advance. Please contact us as soon as possible (ideally at least 3 weeks before the date of the event) if you require either BSL interpretation or captioning. We will try our best but cannot guarantee provision.

Parking

There is no parking for any vehicles on site and ANPR cameras are in operation 24/7.

We have a small number of Blue Badge spaces available, these spaces can only be used if guests have pre registered their number plates by emailing [email protected].

Registering your details does not guarantee a space, as they operate on a first come, first served basis. Please ensure your blude badge is displayed clearly in the vehicle.

Freedom of Speech

Freedom of speech within the law and academic freedom are core principles of our University and underpin our mission to foster intellectual curiosity, rigorous debate, and the pursuit of knowledge. Our staff / students / SU colleagues are entitled to express their ideas and views, providing they do not violate the law. The law rightly prohibits speech that incites violence, terrorism and hate, but does not prohibit speech that others may find upsetting or offensive.

As a University that embodies social justice, we expect people to treat each other with dignity and respect, but it is not our role to censor ways of thinking or stifle debate between those who hold opposing views.

We understand that it can be frustrating to face views and perspectives that do not reflect our inclusive ethos at York St John University. However, we will not take disciplinary action against staff or students for lawful expression of their views, regardless of petitions, media campaigns or other external pressures.
